From 16 to 22 September, approximately 3000 towns and cities from around 50 countries worldwide will celebrate EUROPEAN MOBILITY WEEK, with activities encouraging people to opt for walking, cycling, public transport and other clean transport solutions. The celebrations culminate in World Car-Free Day (on 22 September or another day within the main week) when urban centres are reserved for pedestrians and cyclists of all ages rather than the usual motorised traffic.
Each year, this European Commission flagship awareness-raising campaign adopts a theme that showcases a specific dimension of sustainable mobility. This year, the theme is ‘Save Energy,’ and it highlights the impact that sustainable transport choices have on climate targets and on energy and mobility poverty.
