A cleaner and smarter transport
The awareness campaign on sustainable urban mobility, launched by the European Commission, was created with the aim of promoting behavioral change in favor of public transport and others clean and intelligent transport solutionsthe.

The desire to reconnect

What is possible with a transport that connects places and people more and better, one of the main objectives of the European Green Deal adopted by the European Commission.
Zero emissions target? Still far away
From which, however, we are still very far. Just think that Transports they are the second most polluting sector in Europe and the emissions from this sector are even increased by 0.8% between 2018 and 2019.
For this, to achieve the European goal of net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050it is essential that all stakeholders and cities cooperate to significantly reduce emissions from urban mobility.
We leave the car at home
