Agenda Municipal / Diverse Mix and Move

Sat 17 to Thu 22 Sep
European Mobility Week 2022 (Famalicão)

D. Maria II square | 10h00

European Mobility Week aims to promote activities aimed at reducing road traffic in cities, contributing to improved mobility, quality of life in urban areas and the sustainability of natural resources. The aim of this initiative is to draw the population's attention to rethink the way they travel within the city, encouraging the replacement of private cars by the use of public transport and soft modes of transport.

The Municipality of Vila Nova de Famalicão, through the Department for Mobility and Road Safety, intends, once again, to mark the European Mobility Week, whose central theme is: "Better Connections" with the promotional slogan of the campaign "Mix and Move", in the Portuguese version "Combina e Move-te". 

One of the actions to be carried out is called Pelo Chão da Cidade, on 17 September 2022, through the dynamisation of several street animation activities that will take place in D. Maria II Square, from the north top to the south top and Lourenço Silva Oliveira Street, and on 22 September the commemoration of the European Car Free Day, in Ribeirão parish.

The aim of these activities is to raise the awareness of the whole community for a more sustainable mobility and the use of public space directed towards people rather than cars.
