Activities within the week Activities within the week

Oslo organises activities during EUROPEANMOBILITYWEEK 2008, taking into account the annual theme.

All week
Samferdselsetaten (The Agency for Road and Transport, municipality of Oslo) is responsible for organizing the European Mobility Week (EMW) for the city of Oslo. This year we have joined forces with Grønn Hverdag and Miljøfestivalen. The theme for EMW 2008 is “clean air for all” and the theme for Miljøfestivalen is “climate”. As the two themes are interlinked we are organizing a number of events throughout the week to promote sustainable transportation, clean air as well as other environmentally friendly activities.

Car-free day Car-free day

Oslo carries out a Car-free day 2008 and closes off one or more streets to traffic, and opens it to pedestrians, cyclists and public transport.
