European Mobility Week - “#Car FreeDay”

The main purpose of the “Car-Free Day” event, which is the last day of the European Mobility Week and is held every year on September 22, is to raise awareness about the several benefits of living without a car. These benefits include mitigating the environmental negative impacts, promoting healthy lifestyles, and increasing social interaction.

As ITS Türkiye team, we also came to our office on September 22 on foot or by preferring public transportation without taking a motorized vehicle. Thus, we aimed to make a small contribution to the Car-Free Day event and create awareness in the sector. Participants of the #Car-free Day event organized by Gaziantep Metropolitan Municipality, which is one of our members, traveled a distance of 2.5 km by bicycles, electric scooters and electric bicycles.

Konya Metropolitan Municipality, one of our stakeholders, organized a "Car Free Day Awareness Walk" and a seminar and an award ceremony on "How Did I Get Younger by Cycling?". Antalya Metropolitan Municipality organized a bicycle tour and Mersin Toroslar Municipality organized a series of activities such as cycling, walking and a car-free day event. We would like to thank to all institutions and organizations that organized events and activities to raise awareness within the scope of the European Mobility Week and all stakeholders who contributed.
