Abstract: The growing environmental, social, and economic challenges the transportation sector poses have made sustainable mobility a priority in Europe. The European Green Deal seeks to reduce transportation emissions by 90% by 2050, but the transition to sustainable transportation faces significant barriers, including underdeveloped infrastructure, slow technological adoption, and behavioral resistance. This study employs a hybrid decision-making framework using picture fuzzy sets to evaluate European sustainable transportation strategies, focusing on electric vehicle adoption, public transportation expansion, and multimodal systems integration. The research highlights the role of digital technologies such as IoT, AI, and Mobility as a Service (MaaS) in optimizing transport networks and reducing emissions. Social equity, accessibility, and public health impacts are also examined, providing a comprehensive analysis of the complexities of sustainable mobility. The findings offer practical recommendations for accelerating the adoption of eco-friendly transportation solutions across diverse European regions.
