Furthermore, existing research addressing rural mobility solutions typically focuses on a specific user group, such as local residents, second-home owners, or tourists. In this paper, we study the social inclusivity, economic viability, and environmental impacts of novel mobility solutions in rural contexts based on published scholarly literature. When doing so, we bring both permanent and temporary residents of rural areas under one research framework.<h4>Methods</h4>We used grey literature to identify and categorise novel mobility solutions, which have been applied in European rural areas anEuropean transport research reviewIn search of sustainable and inclusive mobility solutions for rural areas.PMC8983330Automated Mobility: EUConnectedAustralasian Innovations (CCAMEU)#R100 MARAMOBTP1003Rehema MRaun JPoltimae HPoom AfalseIn search of sustainable and inclusive mobility solutions for rural areas.<h4>Background</h4>Despite emerging research on novel mobility solutions in urban areas, there have been few attempts to explore the relevance and sustainability of these solutions in rural contexts.
