As urban trips are on average just 5 km long, there is a lot of potential for shifting trips to micromobility: smaller and greener vehicles. Micromobility includes small human or electric-powered transport modes for short urban journeys, such as cycling, scooting and walking. However, to promote micromobility, there is the need for safe infrastructure and improved road safety: the number one concern for vulnerable road users using micromobility.
Micromobility: Cool, Fast, Green – and better for people and planet.
We just launched our online platform www.micromobi.eu, where we share the lessons learned from our MICROMOBI project, which brought together partners from Malta, Cyprus, Palermo (Italy) and Ljubljana (Slovenia) to share, experience and learn from good practices in promoting micromobility.
On the online MICROMOBI platform, anyone with an interest in mobility can find resources such as inspiring videos, educational quizzes, infographics and our toolkit: Micromobility Made Easy: An Urban Transition Toolkit. In the Toolkit available on the platform, we share practices from the partner cities and countries who stand at the beginning of the micromobility transition, as well as those with more experience. We cover what micromobility is, its benefits and barriers, and how to promote micromobility. These are highlighted by good and bad practices from cities across Europe to inspire positive change, to illustrate that the transition to micromobility and away from a car-centric culture is possible, and to learn from mistakes.
In the second part of the Toolkit, we zoom in on the lessons learned from Ljubljana as a lighthouse example: including how to create safe and direct infrastructure, how to integrate with other modes of transport, and how to build a movement supporting this transition!

Urban Cycling Training
On World Bicycle Day on 3rd June, we hosted an Urban Cycling Skills Training, aimed at boosting the confidence of cyclists!
Micromobility? What’s that?
Micromobility encompasses most small one-person vehicles that operate at low speeds and are not gas-powered, from active modes like walking and cycling to skateboards, electric bicycles, kick scooters, wheelchairs, and mobility scooters.
