Detailed description (English): Next September 20, early in the morning, the PTP, together with the Tarragona ATM and within the framework of the European Mobility Week, celebrates the 9th Transport Race of the Camp of Tarragona. After two years of the pandemic, we have recovered this activity and, as always, we want participating to be a unique experience.
As in previous editions, the race will consist of traveling from different locations in Camp de Tarragona to the city center of the provincial capital, using the mode that each participant finds most appropriate.
With the transport race we want to show the public that the car is often not as competitive as sustainable mobility. The time spent searching for parking, stoppages due to traffic jams... means that the car is not always the fastest. In addition, we can also compare the emission that the use of each transport implies, being able to check how many times more the private vehicle pollutes towards sustainable mobility. Finally, the economic cost…. With the price of gasoline so high, wouldn't it be better to use public transport? And the bike?
Once the activity is over, a snack will be offered to the participants and the results of the race will be shown.
Detailed description (original language): El proper dia 20 de setembre a primera hora del matí, la PTP, juntament amb l’ATM de Tarragona i en el marc de la Setmana Europea de la Mobilitat, celebra la 9a Cursa de Transports del Camp de Tarragona. Després de dos anys de pandèmia, recuperem aquesta activitat i, com sempre, volem que participar-hi sigui una experiència única.
Com en edicions anteriors, la cursa consistirà en desplaçar-se des de diferents localitats del Camp de Tarragona fins al centre de la capital de la província, utilitzant el mode que a cada participant li sembli més adient.
Amb la cursa de transports volem mostrar a la ciutadania que, sovint, el cotxe no és tan competitiu com la mobilitat sostenible. El temps invertit en la cerca d’aparcament, les aturades per embussos… fan que el cotxe no sigui sempre el més ràpid. A més 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, el cost econòmic…. amb el preu de la benzina tant alt, no serà millor utilitzar el transport públic? I la bicicleta?
Un cop finalitzi l’activitat, s’oferirà un refrigeri als participants i es mostraran els resultats de la cursa.
Target group(s): All groups of people are expected to participate in 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 time, economic cost, energy and emissions.
Partner: This activity is done in collaboration with the Metropolitan Transport Authority of Camp de Tarragona, the Tarragona city council, the Government of Catalonia and the town councils of the places from where the races start.
