ENVIRONMENT: THE EU PRIZE TO FRANKFURT (GERMANY), KOPRIVNICA (CROATIA) AND ARAD (ROMANIA)(2)

One of the cities that will receive the Mobility Week prize, Frankfurt "organised – explains the Commission – an effective information campaign which in its different forms enabled the citizens to learn about the main challenges in the areas of the environment and transport and to try alternative means of transport, such as taxi bikes and solar-energy-fuelled vehicles". The municipal administration of Koprivnica, instead, "lunched a three-year plan, called Streets for People, to make all public buildings, pavements and pedestrian crossings accessible to disabled people". In addition, the Croatian municipality allocated one and a half kilometre of streets in the city centre to forms of transport other than motor vehicles. In Arad, the Mobility Week was, instead, "focussed on educational activities about air quality, sustainable transport and the protection of the environment". Educational tours were organised "and air quality was measured to show people the impact of traffic emissions on air quality".
