European campaign champions inclusive public transport across the nation
Communities nationwide will embrace sustainable travel options during a major annual awareness initiative running this month. The programme highlights accessible journeys for all citizens regardless of ability or background.
European Mobility Week will take place from 16 to 22 September 2026, serving as the European Commission's flagship campaign to promote eco-friendly urban travel. The core focus of this year's programme centres on the theme "Mobility for Everyone", ensuring that sustainable transportation options remain fully accessible to every citizen regardless of their income, location, gender, or physical abilities.
The National Transport Authority Smarter Travel team has actively supported local councils across the country to register events and coordinate local activities. Members of the public can easily combine public transport with walking or cycling where suitable, fostering healthier, more inclusive, and lower-carbon communities from coast to coast.
This momentum builds upon remarkable recent milestones, including the TFI Smarter Travel Programme surpassing 300 participating organisations and the presentation of the 150th Smarter Travel Mark earlier this year. Further details and updates on local community events are available on the official website.
