Background
The European Commission launched the Sustainable Urban Mobility campaign in July 2012. Under the slogan ‘Do the Right Mix’, the campaign showcases and supports local, regional, and national promotional actions across Europe. The central aim is to encourage EU citizens to embrace multi-modality.
Since the launch of the campaign in 2012, nearly 380 sustainable urban mobility actions have been registered on the central www.dotherightmix.eu website. The ongoing and upcoming actions are displayed on the Mobility Map, which provides enhanced Europe-wide visibility for campaigners. The website also features a fun and interactive Facebook game in which users must choose the most sustainable transport options for the central character, Edgar, and can win a foldable bike.
