“Safe and Healthy with Sustainable Mobility” EUROPEANMOBILITYWEEK 2021

“Safe and Healthy with Sustainable Mobility” the 2021 EUROPEANMOBILITYWEEK theme

The 2021 EUROPEANMOBILITYWEEK pays tribute to the hardships felt by Europe - and the world - throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. It also reflects on the opportunities for change resulting from this unprecedented health crisis in Europe.

In line with this year’s theme ‘Safe and Healthy with Sustainable Mobility’, the four focal topics are mental & physical health, safety and COVID-19 response.

It is no coincidence that mental health is a priority topic, as EUROPEANMOBILITYWEEK advocates a stronger focus on the relationship between mental health and urban mobility, an issue that has become increasingly important during the pandemic. Another priority topic is physical health, which includes the impact of air and noise pollution and the benefit of active mobility. The topic on safety highlights recent developments concerning transport safety, the integration of people with reduced mobility and extensive road safety measures in the urban environment. The response of urban administrations to the COVID-19 pandemic is also flagged in 2021 EUROPEANMOBILITYWEEK, focusing on the positives of the pandemic around urban mobility and on the importance of restoring confidence in public transport.

Cities and urban administrations have established creative, resilient responses to the pandemic. This year, EUROPEANMOBILITYWEEK celebrates the resilience of cities and their achievements, while seeking to sustain this momentum. Trends that began last year, such as increased active mobility and the use of low- or zero-emission mobility, require further promotion.

Therefore, EUROPEANMOBILITYWEEK 2021 encourages people and local authorities to take steps to achieve the long-term goal for a Europe that offers the opportunity to everyone to be Safe and Healthy with Sustainable Mobility.
