Detailed description (English): Next September 19 at 6:00p.m., the PTP, together with the Lleida ATM and within the framework of the European Mobility Week, celebrates the 10th Transport Race of Lleida. After two years of the pandemic, we have recovered this activity and, as always, we want participating to be a unique experience.
This year is our anniversary, therefore, we will carry out the race in a somewhat different way than in other years, where the participants will have to compete among themselves not only to demonstrate which is the fastest and most sustainable way... but also to get the piece of a very special puzzle.
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 19 de setembre a les 18h la PTP, juntament amb l’ATM de Lleida i en el marc de la Setmana Europea de la Mobilitat, celebra la 10a Cursa de Transports de l’Àrea de Lleida. Després de dos anys de pandèmia, recuperem aquesta activitat i, com sempre, volem que participar-hi sigui una experiència única.
Aquest any estem d’aniversari, per tant, realitzarem la cursa d’un mode una mica diferent al dels altres anys, on els participants hauran de competir entre ells per no només demostrar quin és el mode més ràpid i sostenible… sinó també per aconseguir la peça d’un puzle molt especial.
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?
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, ecnomic cost, energy and emissions.
Partner: This activity is done in collaboration with BiciHub Barcelona, Metropolitan Transport Authority of Lleida, Lleida council and the Government of Catalonia.
