EUROPEANMOBILITYWEEK is the European Commission’s flagship awareness-raising campaign on sustainable urban mobility. It encourages 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.
Businesses, civil society organisations, educational institutions, and municipalities are invited to promote sustainable urban mobility all year round. The EUROPEANMOBILITYWEEK award celebrates local authorities that excel in raising awareness on sustainable urban mobility during the main event week, from 16-22 September every year. The MOBILITYACTION award rewards excellence in mobility management aspects of sustainable mobility solutions submitted all year round by businesses, civil society organisations, educational institutions, and municipalities.
