Car-free day
The European Mobility Week ended on Tuesday with a traditional car-free day which is also observed by several Slovenian municipalities. On that day, public transport in and around the capital city of Ljubljana, and the Park + Ride were free-of-charge.
This year’s European Mobility Week promotes clean mobility and sustainable urban transport, with events focusing on kindergartens, and primary and secondary schools as very few pupils and students walk or cycle to school.
A third of the primary energy is consumed in transport which is also one of the biggest and most dispersed users of non-renewable energy sources. The aim of sustainable mobility is to meet the mobility needs of people and at the same time reduce traffic and its harmful consequences.
