European Mobility Week sustainable transport urban mobility ecological transition active mobility

European Mobility Week 2026 has prompted various regional and local initiatives across Europe, with a heavy focus on sustainable transport and ecological transition.

In Italy, several cities held events to promote active mobility. Bolzano and Piacenza participated in the ‘Giretto d’Italia’, a competition measuring sustainable commutes; Bolzano saw a 25.5% increase in recorded trips compared to last year, while Piacenza recorded over 5,400 passages. In Florence, Legambiente reported stable numbers of bicycle and scooter users despite weather alerts. In Pavia, Autoguidovie inaugurated a new multi-energy hub to support public transport evolution, and in Bologna, a partnership between the municipality and Poste Italiane established a cycling station to encourage intermodality.

Broader discussions took place in Milan, where a conference hosted by Confcommercio Mobilità and the European Parliament addressed corporate fleet electrification and the need for technological neutrality to protect European industry. Meanwhile, in Turin, the seventh Forum Mobilità organized by Legambiente focused on universal accessibility and reducing social inequalities caused by urban ecological transitions. Other regional updates include the approval of a new 390 km cycling network plan in the Province of Lecco and the presentation of the FantaMUV sustainable mobility game in Milan.
