Detailed description (English): Changing mentalities is one of the main challenges to the adoption of new travel habits among citizens. The Europe Direct Information Center of Madeira in partnership with the Associação Insular de Geografia, launched the challenge to the human resources of these two bodies, in order to find different and environmentally friendly ways to carry out their daily work-to-work trips along of the EUROPEAN MOBILITY WEEK.
In response to the challenge, three alternative proposals appeared to the usual use of the private vehicle in the daily trips:
-use of public transport;
- use of car-pooling (sharing of the vehicle and home-work travel expenses between the driver / owner of the vehicle and other passenger (s);
- use of electric bicycle.
In the end of the week we will have the total distance traveled (km); the savings (€) in fuel and the ecological savings (kilograms of CO2)
