The central question of TML's participation was how cities can decrease their reliance on cars and promote public transport as a daily alternative. The event took place between November 3rd and 5th.
Rosa Félix, from TML's Studies and Planning Department, joined the panel discussion “The mobility trap: breaking car dependency in cities that know better”, alongside representatives from Vitoria-Gasteiz and BABLE Smart Cities.
During the debate, Rosa Félix presented the tools developed by TML to transform mobility in the Lisbon Metropolitan Area. The Passe navegante® was highlighted, which simplified and made public transport use more accessible throughout the metropolitan territory.
The Metropolitan Plan for Sustainable Urban Mobility (PMMUS) was also presented, a collaborative strategy with the region's 18 municipalities, aiming to establish a shared vision for the future of mobility.
Participation in the international congress allowed for the dissemination of Lisbon's experience and the importance of articulating public policies, integrated planning, and concrete solutions to change urban mobility patterns.
