Nordic Road Association NVF’s Post

🛣 This week is European Mobility Week. European Mobility week is the European Commission’s flagship awareness-raising campaign on sustainable urban mobility. This year’s theme is all about shared public spaces, ones where people, transport and activities all have their own space to develop social equity, improved road safety, less noise and air pollution and a better quality of life. 🌲 Here at TII we recognise that our urban transport environments are changing, and that the space reallocation associated with this shift has significant potential to create places that are more equitable, functional, valuable, and beautiful. We have been involved in many safety schemes across Ireland that look at the reallocation of space to create multi functioning streets through developing social spaces to sit and chat, using trees to reduce temperature, prevent flooding and calm traffic, and space to engage in active travel. #europeanmobilityweek #carfreeday #urbanmobility #Luas #Lightrail #SustainableMobility #NR2040 

At Hop, we are excited to join the European Mobility Week 2024 celebration with the theme #SharedPublicSpace! 🛴🌍 This year’s theme highlights the importance of making our cities more livable, inclusive, and sustainable while fostering a culture of shared public spaces and community engagement. As hop, we are proud to play a key role in advancing this vision through our innovative #micromobility solutions, which offer efficient and eco-friendly alternatives for short-distance travel. By reducing traffic congestion and lowering #carbonemissions, we are helping protect the natural environment and improve the quality of life in urban areas. In collaboration with local authorities, we are expanding parking stations and integrating smart technologies to further enhance accessibility and #urbanmobility for all city residents. Let’s take action today—together, we can build more livable, sustainable cities for the future! 🍀 #EuropeanMobilityWeek #SustainableCities #UrbanMobility

Fascinating look at how sustainable global transport can be. Institute for Transportation and Development Policy debuted its first annual Atlas of Sustainable City Transport, an interactive map that ranks more than 1000 cities on nine metrics that measure factors such as percentage of residents safe from highways, proximity to transportation amenities, and rapid transport with surprising results.   Where does your city rank?

While these topics are crucial, it's important to remember that the future of urban mobility lies in integration and adaptability. As we explore sustainable solutions such as MaaS and micromobility, we must also consider how these elements interact within the broader urban ecosystem 🚇 Join us in Prague as we discuss the course of mobility 🚋

🔺Sustainable urban mobility is one of the main challenges facing cities in the EU and a key concern for many European citizens, as road transport is one of the primary sources of air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions in urban areas. The cost of traffic congestion to society is estimated at €270 billion annually. In this context, Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans (SUMPs) are a key priority for the European Union, as they are considered capable of addressing the challenges and problems of transport planning in urban areas in an efficient and sustainable manner. They aim to create a sustainable urban transport and mobility system that ensures accessibility to jobs and services for all, improves the protection and safety of commuters, reduces pollution, greenhouse gas emissions, and energy consumption, increases the efficiency and economic performance of transporting people and goods, and enhances the attractiveness and quality of the urban environment. 🏡Consortis, committed to the vision of sustainable urban development, continues to support local authorities in the country through the implementation of numerous SUMPs, in their efforts to create spaces with fewer cars and traffic. 🚴The European Mobility Week (EMW) has been established since 2002 as the most important institution at the European level for promoting sustainable mobility standards. It is organized annually from September 16 to 22, with hundreds of municipalities from across Europe participating. The highlight of the events is "Car-Free Day" on September 22, during which special urban zones are designated where private car traffic is prohibited, giving space to pedestrians, cyclists, scooters, and public transport. 🏞️This year's theme for EUROPEANMOBILITYWEEK is "Shared Public Space." Creating shared public spaces offers numerous benefits to society. When people, different modes of transport, and various activities have their own space, it leads to greater social equity, improved road safety, reduced noise and air pollution, and an overall enhanced quality of life.

ITDP's Atlas of Sustainable City Transport gives cities the ability to better understand residents' access to sustainable mobility, and thus develop more informed policy intiatives for the future. Check out this piece from Fola Akinnibi for Bloomberg CityLab 👇 https://lnkd.in/eQ99_ipe

“The best transportation systems are not necessarily the fanciest.” Check out ITDP's online data dashboard, Atlas of Sustainable City Transport, for urban passenger transport data over 1,000 metropolitan areas and 40,000 legal jurisdictions and districts! 👉 https://lnkd.in/etTztmEK #urbantransport #transit #sustainable #mobility #highway #data Bloomberg News

Rethinking Urban Mobility 🌆 The future of our cities starts with rethinking how we move. Ropeways are not just for mountains— they're the future of sustainable urban transport 🚠 We at LEITNER believe that the future of urban mobility includes ropeway systems and sustainable solutions such as our ConnX development. #connectedmobility #urbanvision #urbanropeways #UrbanMobility #Sustainability #Innovation #SmartCity
