However, being a small city with relative short distances to travel, local authorities aim to establish “The Walking Bus” as a healthy and sustainable alternative way to driving to school. Special stations will be created and volunteers will be nominated to accompany children to school. Also, in the present, in Fagaras, there is an increased demand in riding the bikes as compared with the lack of bike lines. The young people, as well as the older people choose to travel from one place to another by bikes due to the fact it is not only a free means of transport but also a healthy one as well.

Făgăraş is holding the programme entitled „Urban Lectures”. Through the programme „Culture in the Bus”, our institution intends to bring the pleasure and the art of reading to the citizens of Făgăraş, with the help of high-school students and volunteers.
While travelling by local bus, on their route, the students select paragraphs from the works of some authors, stressing on the significance of reading. Through the project we connect reading, education, teaching, learning and socializing.
The travellers got the map, the ”Travelling through Europe 2015-2016” booklet from the European Public Space Bucharest, instead of travel tickets.Students had the opportunity to drive by the local bus. They received the "European passport" instead of travel tickets. They familiarized with other sustainable means of travel. Thus, they learnt local public bus stations and times.

The dramatic increase of the number of cars in the recent years has made the local authorities look for solutions: improving the traffic efficient cross roads, bulding car parks in the blocks areas, improvement of the pavements in all the areas of Fagaras, modernization of the public lighting, making a bike line for those who work in the industrial area.
Inauguration of the recreation area near the municipal stadium. Here children are equipped with street sports equipment, and a roller park. The investment amounts to 20.000 euros, money allocated from the local budget. People from Făgărăş would like more areas like this, but many would prefer to have the roads repaired - which are full of potholes. Fagaras has a skatepark and a running track arranged along the municipal stadium grandstand.
