Launch of awareness-raising campaigns implemented

Further info
Our permanent measures include the recently established Mobility Centre and InfoPoint at the town of Biella. The European Mobility Week will be a great opportunity to promote the services already provided.

A new high mobility bus line that connects the access points and strategic places of the town will start operating the same week as the Mobility Week. It is believed that this line will convince many local people to leave their cars at home and use the local transport instead.
