By 2040, the daily mobility in Luxembourg and its cross-border regions could face a structural stress test. Projections indicate an 18% increase in total travel demand, driven by job opportunities concentrated in Luxembourg and an growing number of workers living across the border. For instance, the number of daily commuters from France to Luxembourg could increase by over 60 per cent.
Although planned investments in rail, tram, road, and park-and-ride infrastructure will help, they may not be sufficient. Cars will remain dominant, while gains in public transport will be modest overall, and several corridors, stations, and park-and-ride facilities could approach saturation.
This highlights the importance of anticipating and mitigating the risk of network overload becoming more prevalent.
