Presentation of 2022 mobility week and of the actions of Procida Municipality for suistainability

In the year of Procida 2022 Culture Capital City of Italy a milestone is environmental sustainability. To achieve this goal strong actions were undertaken. In an island with a small surface the major challenge is the sustainable mobility. In 4 sq. km with less than 40 km of roads 10.000 inhabitants use about 8.000 cars, motorcycles, trucks, and more than 3000 bikes, mostly ebikes. In order to give people an opportunity of cultural growth and environmental awareness reducing the nightmare of traffic, smog, noise Procida experiences since spring 2022 new ways and best practices. According to the proposals of the Conference Sustainable Mobility for Safety and Health in Procida held during the 2021 mobility week the Municipality of Procida prohibited the private traffic on the whole Island between 10.30 and 11.30 AM, 17.30 19.30 PM and 21.00 00.30 PM in the whole Summer. New electric bus were bought and, due to funding of Campania Region, all the passengers could be transported for free. In the presentation to the public all these actions will be discussed.
