It aims at sensibilising citizens to the use of public transport, cycling, walking. It encourages European cities to promote these modes of transport and to invest in the new necessary infrastructures.
The European Mobility Week initiative arose from a finding: today almost 40% of the transport sector’s CO2 emissions are produced by the use of private cars in cities.
A switch to more efficient and cleaner forms of transport will contribute to a reduction of traffic congestion, air pollution, traffic related diseases and noise.
By participating in the European Mobility Week , local authorities show how much the improvement of the quality of urban life concerns them. An Annual Award reward the best participation of the year.
