The campaign is encouraging European cities to promote public transport, cycling and walking and to invest in the new necessary infrastructures.From 16 to 22 September 2010 the Mobility Week is the opportunity for European cities and towns to participate to the most widespread event on sustainable mobility. On 22 September, the Mobility Week is brought to a head by the Carfree day when everybody is encouraged to leave their car home for a day and use public transport, cycle or walk.
