Summary/Abstract: In this paper, some selected problems related to individual transport behaviour are discussed in the context of activities aimed at sustainable development of transport presented in the EU strategy Europe 2020 and related documents. First, the main causes leading to the need of change in transport behaviour and the related reduction of individual motorisation are discussed. Then, the determinants of behaviour of transport users are analysed. In the last part of the paper, the main directions of EU actions included in the latest EU documents are presented. An attempt is made to briefly asses the expected effectiveness of the initiatives in terms of creating sustainable transport behaviour of individuals.
