European community for mobility management

We are proud to present an initiative from Green Mobility in regards to promote urban sustainable mobility in cities and companies, the European Green Mobility Tour 2010.

Green Mobility, member of SLoCaT Partnership, is a consultancy specialized in developing mechanisms for a more sustainable mobility in companies and governments.

Efficient Means of transport are fundamental to the effective functioning of cities and one of the criteria for economic prosperity and welfare of its inhabitants. At the same time, the economic benefits of the transportation sector are often accompanied by negative side effects such as congestion, social exclusion, accidents, air pollution, noise pollution and inefficient energy consumption.
Within this context arises the concept of green mobility, which seeks innovative strategies for the access of people to goods and services to their destinations with less environmental, economic and social impact. The greatest challenge has been in how to turn one of the major problems in cities in opportunities and gains for sustainable development.

Green Mobility has the major role of contributing to minimize these problems, with the development of integrative solutions on sustainable urban mobility in society and enabling forms of promoting Public and Private Partnership in this segment.

European Green Mobility Tour 2010

It is part of the organization's objective to provide a benchmark of the cities that work the concept of green mobility.
Thus, Green Mobility, in cooperation with the Brazilian National Association on Public Transport (ANTP), is organizing the European Green Mobility Tour 2010.
This tour involves a broad agenda on sustainable urban mobility in Germany, with the participation of German authorities from transport and environmental sector, businesses and organizations of management and technology in transportation, and      universities with projects aimed at innovation in this subject.
