European Mobility Week is a branded project celebrated by the European Commission since 2002 between September 16-22. The main aim of the week is to encourage all relevant decision-makers to provide more support for sustainable urban mobility. Additionally, it invites all municipalities and citizens through municipalities to take measures related to sustainable transportation, thereby increasing awareness in this regard.
Throughout the week, the goal is for relevant authorities to improve municipalities, transportation planning, and public transportation systems. Citizens are encouraged to choose alternative transportation methods over individual vehicles.
The impact of the European Mobility Week, organized for 21 years, is growing both in Europe and worldwide. During this week, municipalities implement projects focusing on mobility management, accessibility, and new or improved bicycle infrastructure. The last day, September 22, features the "Car-Free Day" event.
Throughout the European Mobility Week, municipalities are encouraged to renew their registration and upload good practice activities they will carry out to increase awareness of sustainable urban mobility at this address (European Mobility Week Registrations). Municipalities that organize events, take sustainable measures, and commit to participating in the "Car-Free Day" on September 22 are awarded the title of "Golden Participant."
In addition to the activities within the European Mobility Week, sharing activities related to promoting pedestrian and cycling transportation on social media between September 16-22 using hashtags such as #EuropeanMobilityWeek, #MobilityWeek, and the tags of the theme of the year will increase visibility.
Furthermore, by following the social media accounts of European Mobility Week (See end of page), interacting with these accounts, and using methods such as reposting and tagging the page, visibility will be enhanced.
