European Mobility Week: Moving towards sustainable transport for all
Join Europe's flagship campaign promoting cleaner, smarter, and more inclusive mobility from 16 to 22 September
Every year, European cities, organisations, and citizens come together for the European Mobility week, the European Commission's flagship event on sustainable urban mobility. The initiative encourages people to explore cleaner and healthier ways of travelling, including walking, cycling, public transport and shared mobility solutions. The week concludes with the popular car-free day and highlights how sustainable transport can improve factors such as air quality, reduce carbon emissions and make towns and cities more pleasant to live in.
The 2026 edition with the theme 'Mobility for Everyone' invites communities to consider how transport systems can better serve people of all ages, from children and young people to older adults. Local authorities are encouraged to test innovative mobility measures, engage residents, and showcase solutions that create safer, more accessible, and more inclusive urban environments. More information about this year's priorities is available on the official European Mobility Week website.
Open data stimulates cities by helping them plan and improve sustainable mobility. Datasets on traffic flows, air quality, cycling infrastructure, and public transport usage can support evidence-based decision-making and help authorities monitor the impact of mobility policies. Through the European Data Portal, users can access thousands of datasets that contribute to smarter transport planning and more sustainable urban development across Europe.
Whether you are a researcher or an interested citizen, the European Mobility Week offers an opportunity to help shape the future of transport. Visit the campaign portal to learn more, register activities, and discover inspiring initiatives from across Europe.
