What is European mobility week?

European Mobility Week External link, opens in new window. is a campaign that aims to raise awareness among policymakers and citizens about the negative consequences of irrational use os the traditional car - with combustion engine - in the city, both for public health and the environment, and to promote the benefits of using more sustainable models of transport, such as public transport, cycling and walking.

The slogan chosen by the European Commission for 2023 is Combine and move! In its 23nd edition, European Mobility Week aims to encourage behavioural change in favour of active mobility, public transport and other clean and smart transport solutions such as electric mobility.

In addition, 22 September is Car-Free Day, which aims to find new solutions to the problems associated with increase in vehicle traffic that generates emissions in cities.

Main activities of the European mobility week 2023

European Mobility Week is an awareness-raising campaign open to cities and towns, businesses, non-governmental organisations and educational communities. Hundreds of #mobilityactions are registered on the official website to highlight local initiatives for a new transport and lifestyle.

Activities can take any form: from guided walks or bike rides to street games or public lectures, as long as they promote public transport, cycling, walking and other forms of sustainable mobility.

In 2023, 1187 municipalities from 35 countries have signed up, with Spain being the largest contributor with 275 municipalities. With more municipalities joining every year, this initiative is a good opportunity to take stock of current transport challenges, test new forms of mobility and activate permanent measures to actively move towards the mobility of the future.
