city ranking: 2023 FOCUSED edition
THE STATE OF SHARED & ZERO-EMISSION MOBILITY IN EUROPEAN CITIES
In the race to cleaner transport, it’s no secret that we need to phase out polluting cars. To do that, cities must provide residents with clean, affordable transport options. These include shared bikes and scooters, zero-emission buses and shared electric cars and charging infrastructure.
In 2023, we tested 42 European cities to see who's speeding ahead when it comes to shared and electric mobility. Scroll down to find your city and use the "Share" buttons to ask them to do more!
