WHO CAN PARTICIPATE?

ANY CITY OR TOWN OR LOCAL AUTHORITY is welcome to participate in the European Mobility Week. You are. Every European town can take part in the European Mobility Week campaign as long as it undertakes to comply with a charter drawn up in consultation with the various national European partners of the project, or, where appropriate, a charter that has been adapted to the national constraints of a country that wishes to reinforce the measures to be implemented.

Apart from marking out a restricted area, complying with the date of the 22nd September and increased availability of alternative modes of transport, the participating towns put in place the means needed to inform the inhabitants of the practical details of the operation and to encourage them to give up the use of their car on that day.

Obviously, the terms of reference - whether European or national - allow each town to adapt the operation to its own layout and local constraints by introducing practical measures (new bus timetables, creation of cycle lanes, making cleaner vehicles available, etc.).

Finally, measurements of traffic, air quality, noise, impact on public opinion, etc. should allow the impact of the day to be quantified in each partner town so that a national and European assessment of the campaign can be drawn up.

HOW TO REGISTER?

Two documents need to be fulfilled and submit to the national or european contact: the European Charter and the on-line registration form.

To register to the European Mobility Week and be visible on the European Mobility Week website, you need:
 to contact your national coordinator if there is one or the European coordination,
 to send this contact the European Charter signed by an elected person in your local authority,
 to submit your registration through the on-line registration form.

As soon as your application is validated by your national coordinator or the European coordination, the data provided about the city activities will be published online in the "participating cities" section of this website.

The European Charter has to be signed by the local competent authority and sent to your national coordinator or to the European coordination if no national coordinator is available.

HOW TO FIND IDEAS?
