Below you can find information about our National Offices Teams
Our staff in Rome, Paris, Madrid, Berlin, Warsaw and London collaborate to pursue the main goals of T&E: a transport system decarbonized in 2050, that protects human health and is affordable for all.
Each T&E National Office advocates for its own government to proactively seek for, and support at EU-level, the most ambitious protection of our climate and environment in transport-related policies.
