Overview
- Municipal programmes were published on Monday, Sept 14 and set events for European Mobility Week running from Wednesday, Sept 16 through Tuesday, Sept 22.
- Castellón will officially inaugurate the already operational Camino Escolar at CEIP El Pinar, run a Macrobicicletada Escolar for about 265 pupils and operate five itinerant mobility points that include free bicycle technical inspections.
- A Coruña has turned Plaza de Tabacos into the week’s central hub with exhibitions, information stands and daily prize draws, and will close Concepción Arenal to traffic on Sept 22 for a Day Without Cars.
- Both cities pair hands-on services and incentives—bike maintenance checks, skills circuits, outdoor screenings and family routes—with outreach by educators to bring guidance on walking, cycling and public transport directly into neighborhoods.
- City leaders say the focus on school routes and local activities is meant to build lasting travel habits, reduce car use in dense areas and reclaim street space for people, a shift that could affect daily commutes, air quality and neighbourhood life.
