EUROPEANMOBILITYWEEK – the European Commission’s flagship awareness-raising campaign on sustainable urban mobility – invites towns and cities to register online. It promotes behavioural change in favour of active mobility, public transport, and other clean, intelligent transport solutions.
The main event takes place from 16-22 September each year, culminating in the popular Car-Free Day. Local authorities are encouraged to use the main week to try out innovative planning measures, promote new infrastructure and technologies, measure air quality, and get feedback from the public.
Local authorities can register their events and permanent infrastructure initiatives as usual, such as organising activities during the week of 16-22 September, implementing or promoting new transport infrastructure, and holding a Car-Free Day.
In addition, businesses, NGOs, schools and other actors, including cities, who want to get involved in the EUROPEANMOBILITYWEEK campaign are encouraged to register their MOBILITYACTION online. These include any actions taken to promote sustainable urban mobility culture, such as cycling to work, or employers taking concrete action to encourage the use of public transport for their employees.
