To encourage sustainable mobility, a special discount will be offered on shared bicycle use through cooperation with Tripy. Throughout the week, citizens will have the opportunity to use bicycles more easily and at a lower cost, experiencing an eco-friendly alternative for daily transportation. This initiative will help spread cycling culture and raise awareness for a cleaner, healthier, and more livable city.

During the week, Tepebaşı Municipality employees have been invited to support sustainable mobility with the slogan “Movement Starts with You: With Your Bicycle, With Your Scooter!” as part of the European Mobility Week. Employees who commute to work by bicycle or scooter will be identified to encourage reducing car use and supporting eco-friendly transportation.

Certificates and awards will be presented to the staff members who commute by bicycle or scooter throughout the week.

Certificate and Award Ceremony: 23 September, Tuesday at 16:30

At this special event, held at the Tepebaşı Municipality's Alzheimer's Guesthouses and Living Village, citizens with Alzheimer's disease and their families will walk as part of Mobility Week.
Our goal is to support the social participation of Alzheimer's patients, highlight the healing power of movement and sharing, and raise public awareness. Our Alzheimer's Guesthouses, which have been operating since 2014, continue to support many of our citizens with residential and daycare services.
This event will both remind us of the importance of a healthy lifestyle and make a meaningful contribution to Mobility Week by touching the lives of our Alzheimer's patients.

As part of Let's Live Together Day, the week's most important event, certain areas in the city center will be closed to vehicle traffic and reserved for pedestrians, cyclists, and public transportation. This initiative aims to reduce individual vehicle use, promote clean air, lower carbon emissions, and create a safe urban environment.

As part of the "Roads Are Yours" event, each of the three municipalities will designate different starting points. Citizens will begin their journey from these points at 2:00 PM, concluding their journey in Sazova Park. During the festival, citizens will be able to visit the stands of civil society organizations and municipalities and enjoy games, competitions, and dance performances.

The "Car-Free Streets and Avenues" event, one of the most enjoyable days of European Mobility Week, will be organized in collaboration with our three municipalities. Selected streets and avenues in the city center will be closed to vehicle traffic and reserved for pedestrians, cyclists, and public transport users.

Throughout the day, various games and dance performances will be held for children and adults, transforming the streets into a fun gathering place. This event not only highlights clean air and low carbon emissions but also demonstrates that our cities can be safer, more vibrant, and more livable places. As Tepebaşı Municipality, we will be participating in the event with our Recreation Team, adding to the excitement of the day.
