Important events in September / World Car Free Day

Why a “In town, without my car!” day?

Such a company was born from an observation: Everyone is very concerned about pollution and urban mobility. In cities, many complain about poor air quality, noise pollution, traffic congestion, etc. Despite this, the car fleet and traffic are growing.

The “In the city, without my car!” day aims to promote collective awareness of the need to act against the nuisances generated by the growth of motorized traffic in urban areas. It is not only about fighting against air pollution or noise but also about improving the quality of life in the city.

Car-free day has existed since 1998 and the results of recent years show a certain disaffection and a real disengagement from large urban communities.

Since 2007, this world day has tended to be replaced by a mobility week which aims to promote the use of public transport…

The date of this world day is generally set for September 22 each year, but there may be exceptions.

Zero emissions?

Electric mobility is struggling to make a real place in our cities. The obstacles, mainly economic, still weigh heavily. Electric mobility, how does it work? How much does an electric vehicle cost? What assistance is available? All the answers to these questions are addressed on the occasion of the electric mobility day, organized as part of the European mobility week.
