Gender equity is an essential dimension of sustainable transport. To support #PublicTransport planning for better, more inclusive #UrbanMobility, it is important to identify, understand, and redress gender-based inequities. For more information and guidance on planning inclusive public transport, see our technical guide https://ow.ly/CJam50VALTT

🛴⚡Finland is planning to grant municipalities greater control over micromobility regulations. A proposed #micromobility license will allow cities to set operating hours, speed limits, and parking rules—addressing safety concerns and improving organisation. The legislation also introduces a blood alcohol limit for riders and gives traffic controllers the power to conduct breathalyser tests, aligning micromobility rules with motor vehicle laws. How are other cities regulating micromobility? 👉 https://lnkd.in/e4bWiq-3 #UrbanMobilityEU #Micromobility #SmartCities #e-Scooter

🔋🚗 As electric vehicle adoption grows, ensuring safe and efficient charging infrastructure is essential. The @European Commission has published two new guidance documents developed by the Sustainable Transport Forum (STF): ✅ Fire safety for EVs in covered parking spaces—risk mitigation, fire detection, and emergency response ✅ Tendering best practices for deploying public charging infrastructure under the AFIR framework These resources support cities in scaling EV infrastructure and stress the importance of integrated, long-term mobility and energy strategies such as sustainable urban mobility plans (#SUMPs). 🔗 Read more and access the guidance: https://lnkd.in/dSeQCM4C #UrbanMobilityEU #EVCharging #SustainableTransport #SmartCities

🚍⚡ Electrifying bus fleets is a big step toward reducing CO₂ emissions, but for real impact, cities must also focus on energy and resource efficiency. Smart charging, optimised routes, and circular procurement are crucial for a greener future. The Interreg Euro-MED Programme is gathering insights to support cities in these areas. Public transport authorities & operators—your input is valuable! 📢 Take the survey & help shape guidelines for optimised electric bus fleet operations. Plus, receive insights on circular procurement & eco-driving best practices. 🔗https://ow.ly/SnQu50VxY0j #SustainableTransport #ElectricBuses #SmartMobility #GreenCities E-MED_Interreg #UrbanMobilityEU
