“I am glad that mobility has become a central topic in our city today,” said Mayor Basile, “in fact, it should have been this way twenty years ago, but in the past almost nothing was done on this topic. However, sustainable mobility is a priority goal of the administration, both first with Mayor Cateno De Luca and today with my government team in the name of continuity. Mobility is at the center of the week, which is celebrated throughout Europe and also in Messina, where I hope there will be active citizen participation. We are heading towards a real cultural change that will take some time for people to understand how important it is to use public transport.”
“The journey of mobility in Messina began in 2108,” continued Deputy Mayor Mondello, “and today we have reached the most important stage: the creation of a new model that will give the people of Messina a completely different city. Discount passes for public transport and interchange parking are aimed at leaving your personal car at home. Young people understand that a real revolution is happening, so much so that today they are the first users of our vehicles. It will take time, but I am confident that we will make Messina a better place for the citizens. The initiatives of European Mobility Week in Messina represent a unique opportunity to discuss and go beyond the topic of urban mobility.”
“We want to take inspiration from European Mobility Week,” explained President Campagna, “to think about the future of cross-Channel mobility. We must think that today we are targeting a much larger area and we must think with all the mobility stakeholders involved, with the support of our transport association in its national and regional branches. Over the course of three days, important topics will be discussed by professionals, professionals and institutional representatives. At the end of the meeting, a proposal will be made that will be passed on to the administrators.”
