The 2023 award application cycle will open soon after the conclusion of EUROPEANMOBILITYWEEK on 22 September.
The EUROPEANMOBILITYWEEK Award recognises local authorities that have excelled in raising awareness about sustainable urban mobility. The award is directly related to local authorities’ active participation in the campaign, which includes (1) organising activities focused on sustainable mobility during the main event week from 16-22 September, (2) implementing one or more permanent transport measures, and (3) holding a ‘Car-Free Day’. In order to apply for this award, local authorities must have completed the three criteria mentioned above.
The winner of the 2022 award is Braga (Portugal)! Learn more about the winner and the finalists on the dedicated EUROPEANMOBILITYWEEK Award page, here.
In 2022, the European Commission introduced the MOBILITYACTION Award. The award places a spotlight on the campaign’s MOBILITYACTIONs, which are open to civil society organisations, businesses, citizen initiatives, educational institutions and municipalities promoting sustainable mobility throughout the year. In particular, the MOBILITYACTION award rewards participants that demonstrate excellence in Mobility Management, including mobility plans, as well as measures and strategies which have a notable impact on sustainable mobility.
The winner of the first-ever MOBILITYACTION is Metropolia GZM (Poland)! Learn more about the winner and finalists on the dedicated MOBILITYACTION Award page, here.
In previous years, EUROPEANMOBILITYWEEK presented the Award for Sustainable Urban Mobility Planning (SUMP), which was complementary to the EUROPEANMOBILITYWEEK campaign but not directly related. The SUMP Award recognised local and regional authorities for excellence in sustainable urban mobility planning and was created to encourage the adoption of SUMPs by local authorities across Europe.
2021 was the last year the SUMP Award was rewarded.

In previous, EUROPEANMOBILITYWEEK also awarded the EU Urban Road Safety Award, which, like the SUMP Award, was complementary to the EUROPEANMOBILITYWEEK campaign but not directly related. This award rewarded outstanding and innovative achievements by local authorities in the area of road safety and encouraged the exchange of good practices across Europe.
2021 was the last year that the EU Urban Road Safety Award was given.
