Detailed description (English): The Tarragona transport race reaches its 10th edition! To celebrate, we look to the future: in the coming years, the Camp de Tarragona will experience a revolution in public transportation, with the implementation of Tramcamp, which will connect Cambrils, Salou, Vila-Seca, Reus, and Tarragona! From PTP, we have long advocated for this infrastructure, especially since the closure of the line between Port Aventura and Vandellós in favor of the variant. That's why we propose to the participants to travel from the various locations that will be served by Tramcamp to Vila-seca, where the connection between this new mode of transportation and Rodalies will be located. Register soon from our website!
The main objective of the transport race is to show citizens that, often, the car is not as competitive as sustainable mobility. The time spent searching for parking, traffic jams, among others, make the car not always the fastest option. Additionally, we can also compare the emissions caused by each mode of transportation, verifying how much more a private vehicle pollutes compared to sustainable mobility. Finally, we must also consider the economic cost... with gasoline prices so high, wouldn't it be better to use public transport?
Detailed description (original language): La cursa dels transports de Tarragona arriba a la 10a edició! Per a celebrar-ho, mirem al futur: en els propers anys, el Camp de Tarragona viurà una revolució pel que fa a transport públic, amb la posada en servei del Tramcamp, que unirà Cambrils, Salou, Vila-Seca, Reus i Tarragona! Des de la PTP hem reivindicat llargament aquesta infraestructura, sobretot des del tancament de la línia entre Port Aventura i Vandellós en favor de la variant. Per això, proposem als participants viatjar des de les diverses localitats que quedaran servides pel Tramcamp fins a Vila-seca, on s'ubicarà l'enllaç entre aquest nou mode de transport i Rodalies.

L’objectiu principal de la cursa dels transports és mostrar a la ciutadania que, sovint, el cotxe no és tant competitiu com la mobilitat sostenible. El temps invertit en la cerca d’aparcament, les aturades per embussos, entre d’altres, fan que el cotxe no sigui sempre el més ràpid. A més, podem comparar també l’emissió que suposa l’ús de cada transport, podent comprovar quants cops més contamina el vehicle privat vers la mobilitat sostenible. Finalment, també cal considerar el cost econòmic…. amb el preu de la benzina tant alt, no seria millor utilitzar el transport públic?
Target group(s): All groups of people are expected to participate at this activity.
Objectives: The main objective of the transport race is to calculate and compare the different transport alternatives between two points in terms of total travel time, economic cost, energy and emissions.
Partner: This activity is done in collaboration with BiciHub Barcelona, Metropolitan Transport Authority of Tarragona.
