Introduction The European Mobility Week (EMW) aims to influence mobility and urban
transport issues for the long-term as well as to improve health and quality of
life of European citizens. The EMW is organised each year from 16 to 22
September and will celebrate its fifth edition this year under the theme of "
climate change".
Description
Participating local authorities organise a week of activities promoting clean
modes of transport, invite citizens and stakeholders to express their visions on
their urban transport system as well as organise a car-free day on 22 September.
Each year more and more cities and towns decide to join the campaign. In
2005, 950 cities participated in the European Mobility Week and more than 1,450
cities organised the "In Town Without My Car" day, involving around 179 million
citizens in more than 30 countries. The initiative, while initially European,
has now spread to other parts of the world and it is attaining worldwide
dimensions.
The EMW campaign represents a great opportunity to involve all European
cities and citizens around the common theme of sustainable transport in urban
areas. The aim is to change behaviour and make progress towards a more
sustainable transport strategy for Europe.
