European Mobility Week

This event has ended

Various Locations, Monday 16th September - Sunday 22nd September

EUROPEANMOBILITYWEEK is the European Commission’s flagship awareness-raising campaign on sustainable urban mobility. 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.

With more towns and cities joining every year, and with its huge media appeal, the campaign is widely recognised as a driving force towards sustainable urban mobility in Europe and beyond.

The Theme for 2024 is Shared Public Space

Shared public space brings many benefits to society. A place where people, transport modes and activities all have their own space is a place with more social equity, more road safety, less noise and air pollution, and a better quality of life.

EUROPEANMOBILITYWEEK invites us to collectively decide how to share our public space, and make sure everyone can move around safely and comfortably in a pleasant environment, especially pedestrians and cyclists.
