Brussels Mobility is the public administration of the Brussels-Capital Region responsible for equipment, infrastructure and mobility issues. Its primary challenge is to facilitate economic development – and the growing need for mobility solutions – while improving quality of life and sustainable development. Brussels Mobility oversees the definition of mobility strategies, the development of projects, the maintenance of public spaces and roads, as well as public transport infrastructure and taxis of the Region.

Good Move is the Regional Mobility Plan for the Brussels-Capital Region.  Approved in 2020 by the Brussels Government, it defines the main policy guidelines in the field of mobility. This plan aims to improve the living environment of the people of Brussels, while supporting the demographic and economic development of the Brussels-Capital Region. It is the result of a vast participatory process involving all Brussels stakeholders: mobility and institutional partners, the municipalities, the economic and associative world as well as citizens.

The Good Move plan adopts a transversal approach to mobility - a benefit of the co-construction process - and aims to improve the standard of living of the inhabitants of the Region and to encourage everyone to change their travelling habits based on their needs and constraints.

The plan resolutely opts for a pleasant and safe city, comprised of peaceful neighbourhoods, connected by intermodal structural corridors and focused on efficient public transport and improved traffic flow. The plan's measures are designed to provide each user with adapted, facilitated and integrated mobility solutions, enabling them to choose the most appropriate mode of travel for each of their trips, depending on their destination and needs at a given time. For its ambitious goals and its approach to achieving them, Good Move won the 8^th SUMP Award.

In terms of road safety, Brussels seeks to ensure zero killed or seriously injured by 2030 The plan has also an objective to reduce the impact of mobility on the environment and to promote mobility practices that are favourable to physical and mental health. Some of the measures by which it aims to achieve these goals are implementing a 30 km/h speed limit, which has been in effect since 2021, the development of a MaaS ecosystem and the creation of traffic-calmed neighbourhoods. Brussels has been involved in EU projects including BUYZET, CONDUITS, SIMBA II, SUGAR, ELIPTIC and STARS.
