As part of its three-year Sustainable Urban Mobility campaign, Do the Right Mix, the 1690 European Commission has released the names of a further eighteen campaigner-led projects to be awarded funding. Each action will receive up to EUR 7000, which can be used to strengthen activities promoting sustainable urban mobility, from cycling courses, to car-sharing, fun activities for children and more.

Successful applicants were selected by a panel of expert judges, all experienced in the field of sustainable urban mobility. One outstanding activity in each country was granted financial support.  A full list of the winning projects can be found here.

European Commission Vice-President Siim Kallas, responsible for transport said, “Creating a sustainable urban mobility culture is a challenge. But after the success of the first call for funding in 2012, we know that there are countless Europeans ready to take up that challenge. We want to support as many of them as we can, helping them to make positive grassroots changes.”
