European Mobility Week

European Mobility Week is an annual event held from the 16th to the 22nd of September, dedicated to promoting sustainable urban mobility. The campaign encourages cities across Europe to raise awareness about the environmental and health benefits of greener transport options, such as walking, cycling, public transport, and car-sharing. The week culminates in “Car-Free Day,” where cities close off streets to cars, allowing residents to experience their urban areas in a new way, free from vehicular traffic.

The initiative was established by the European Commission in 2002, aiming to influence European citizens’ mobility habits and promote sustainable transportation methods. Over the years, it has grown in popularity, with thousands of towns and cities participating each year. The event also serves as an opportunity for local authorities to introduce and test new transport policies and infrastructure, making cities more accessible and environmentally friendly.

To celebrate European Mobility Week, participants can engage in various activities such as organised bike rides, public transport promotions, and educational workshops on sustainable transport. The event also highlights innovative solutions in urban mobility, from electric vehicles to smart city initiatives, encouraging a shift towards more eco-friendly transportation.
