Companies of the Basque Country, take the Mobility Challenge

The 8^th edition of this inter-company challenge will take place from 16 to 22 September.  It is an opportunity for companies in the Basque Country and their employees to test an alternative to solo car use and explore other commuting solutions.

As an action to raise awareness and promote alternatives to solo car use, the Mobility Challenge aims to encourage employees to consider alternative modes of transport to solo car use for their commute: cycling, walking, public transport, working from home, carpooling, etc.

In the form of an inter-company challenge, the Mobility Challenge is open to all public, private or associative institutions of any size in the Basque Country. Registration is open until 16 September at  www.challengedelamobilite.com

The mobility challenge also allows an evaluation of the way employees commute and the effects of a mobility plan. It also promotes good mobility practices, whether by the employees themselves or institutions that facilitate the usage of alternatives.

The number of trips made in the area of the Basque Country Urban Authority is growing and more than 80% of employees go to work by car, most often alone (solo car use). The Basque Country Urban Authority and its partners wish to change habits among company employees, in order to provide a practical response to problems such as the lack of available parking, and especially to problems of environmental awareness.
