Mobility and sustainability

Mobility is the ability and potential of people and goods to move or be moved locally and between regions. It is the foundation of social, economic and cultural exchanges between individuals, companies and societies.

To be sustainable, mobility must be efficient, safe, long-lasting, equitable, integrated into the environment and compatible with human health and ecosystems;

Sustainable mobility limits the consumption of space and resources, provides and facilitates access, including access to natural environments, promotes economic dynamism, improves the population’s quality of life, is socially responsible and respects the integrity of the environment.
