Our Mission
Many environmental problems such as air quality, pollution, climate change are closely related to traffic and congestion and therefore to people’s mobility choices.
Our mission is two-fold, support public administrations, individual citizens, enterprises and different other kinds of stakeholders who want to move unstainable mobility habits to more sustainable ones and help fight climate change.
