Detailed description (English): As the proud recipient of the European Destination of Excellence 2023 award, the city of Kranj takes sustainable mobility very seriously.
This year's European Mobility Week we started organizing events early in the summer, culminating in a grand finale week from September 16th to 22nd. Most of the events which you see on the video were organized by Center of Sustainable Mobility in Kranj. From June onward, they held weekly events catering to individuals of all ages, from 3-year-olds to seniors aged 70+. Our efforts to raise awareness for sustainable transport reached over 3000 participants.
Among the municipality’s major sustainable achievements was the establishment of the first "park and ride" facility in the entire region. Moreover, Kranj introduced the first 100% electric fleet of buses in the country for 4 city lanes!
This offers possibility to travel within city and region more sustainable friendly.
In September, we held a "sustainable month" and encouraged local schools and businesses to prioritize walking or cycling for their daily commutes. The response was overwhelming, with over 2000 participants, which is a record for us after participating in European Mobility Week for over 23 years.
We firmly believe that the people of Kranj deserve the European Mobility Week award. Their unwavering support for our activities and their increasing dedication to sustainability and environmental consciousness make us incredibly proud. We are excited to work together towards a greener, more sustainable future for all of Europe.
Detailed description (original language): Mesto Kranj, ponosni prejemnik priznanja Evropska destinacija odličnosti 2023, trajnostno mobilnost jemlje zelo resno.
Letošnji Evropski teden mobilnosti smo začeli organizirati že zgodaj poleti, vrhunec pa smo dosegli v velikem zaključnem tednu od 16. do 22. septembra. Večino dogodkov, ki si jih lahko ogledate v videoposnetku, je organiziral Center za trajnostno mobilnost Kranj. Od junija dalje so tedensko organizirali dogodke, namenjene posameznikom vseh starosti, od triletnikov do starejših od 70 let. Naša prizadevanja za ozaveščanje o trajnostnem prometu so dosegla več kot 3000 udeležencev.
Med pomembnejšimi trajnostnimi dosežki občine je bila vzpostavitev prvega parkirišča "parkiraj in se pelji" v celotni regiji. Ta pobuda omogoča ljudem, ki se na delo vozijo v druge regije, da so okolju prijaznejši.
Septembra smo organizirali "trajnostni mesec" in spodbujali lokalne šole in podjetja, naj pri vsakodnevnih vožnjah na delo dajo prednost hoji ali kolesarjenju. Odziv je bil izjemen, saj je sodelovalo več kot 2000 udeležencev, kar je za nas po več kot 23 letih sodelovanja v Evropskem tednu mobilnosti rekord.
Trdno smo prepričani, da si Kranjčani zaslužijo nagrado Evropskega tedna mobilnosti. Na njihovo neomajno podporo našim aktivnostim ter vse večjo predanost trajnostnemu razvoju in okoljski zavesti smo izjemno ponosni. Veseli nas, da si bomo skupaj prizadevali za bolj zeleno in trajnostno prihodnost celotne Evrope.
Target group(s): Citizen of Kranj: young, elderly, employed. Providers of sustainable mobility, schools, companies, NGOs
Objectives: Changing everyday travel habits to more sustainable ones. Safer, more efficient and more environmentally friendly transportation options.
