EUROPEAN MOBILITY WEEK is the European Commission’s flagship awareness-raising campaign on sustainable urban mobility. Held annually from the 16th-22nd September, it promotes behavioural change in favour of active mobility, public transport, and other clean, intelligent transport solutions.
The 2025 theme “Mobility for All” highlights the importance of inclusive and accessible transport systems.
The week culminates in World Car Free Day on the 22nd September, when cities and towns around the world (including Ireland) celebrate by opening their streets to active and sustainable modes of transport. The day highlights the many benefits of going car free including reduced air pollution and the promotion of walking and cycling in a safer environment.
Local authorities are encouraged to use the main week to try out innovative planning measures, promote new infrastructure and technologies, measure air quality, and get feedback from the public.
With more towns and cities joining every year, the campaign is widely recognised as a driving force towards sustainable urban mobility in Europe and beyond.
