Once again, Gata de Gorgos joins the European Mobility Week, a campaign aimed at raising awareness, both among institutions and citizens, about the benefits of using more sustainable modes of transport such as public transport, bicycles, and walking.
On September 22, the municipality will celebrate 'Car-Free Day,' a European initiative to promote healthy mobility, with the collaboration of the educational community, local police, and civil protection. As a result, the circulation of motor vehicles will be prohibited from 08:40 to 09:15 and from 12:45 to 13:15 approximately, coinciding with the entrance and exit of students at CEIP Santíssim Crist, on the streets Grup Escolar, Sant Vicent, Sant Josep, and Alcolaes.
Children with functional diversity or mobility difficulties will be allowed to access by vehicle if they inform the police.
