Overview

  • Eibar drew strong turnout for a second‑hand bicycle market, repair workshop and children’s traffic‑education circuit, emphasizing reuse and a circular economy.
  • Eibar’s Udalbus service will be free on September 22 for Car‑Free Day to encourage public‑transport use and showcase lower‑traffic benefits.
  • Sagunt will make the city bus free on September 22 and has scheduled a workplace mobility forum on September 24, a school Parking Day on September 26 and a Jane’s Walk focused on school surroundings with a feminist lens.
  • In Hondarribia, EAJ‑PNV praised Mobility Week programming but criticized limited progress on new bidegorris and said it will propose mobility projects in the 2026 budget.
  • Private tech firms are leveraging the week to promote tools such as EasyPark’s app features for finding parking and managing payments, pitched as time‑ and emission‑saving aids.
