More than 2 600 cities participating in the European Mobility Week 2018: Mixing transport modes to improve quality of life

This year our flagship campaign: EUROPEANMOBILITYWEEK sees a record-breaking year with over 2 700 towns and cities participating in more than 50 countries. The campaign's aim is to improve quality of life by promoting clean mobility and sustainable urban transport. The campaign culminates in car-free-day in more than 1 000 European cities. This year theme 'Mix and Move' encourages people to see how their daily travel needs can be met more efficiently, more cost-effectively, and more enjoyably by mixing transport modes. On 19 September the 2018 EUROPEANMOBILITYWEEK also included the third edition of the European Day Without a Road Death, ProjectEDWARD, which aims at raising awareness on road safety. Organisations can still register their road safety events for ProjectEDWARD.
