| Abstract | Europe’s transport policy promotes multimodality as a driver of decarbonisation, resilience and passenger-centric mobility, yet air–rail integration remains fragmented due to limited coordination, data interoperability and passenger protection. This document presents policy recommendations based on the MultiModX project, which develops and validates three complementary Solutions for multimodal performance evaluation, air–rail schedule coordination and cross-modal disruption management. Using real-world data and stakeholder input, MultiModX shows that modest timetable adjustments can significantly improve connectivity and that coordinated disruption management substantially reduces stranded passengers and delays. Building on this evidence, the document proposes targeted policy actions on performance frameworks, pre-regulatory modelling, timetable coordination, disruption recovery and enabling conditions. Together, these recommendations provide an evidence-based pathway to translate Europe’s multimodal ambition into reliable door-to-door mobility. |
