The ‘Cambiamo route’ project involving around 450 students, has been born in recent weeks with the aim of encouraging active mobility starting from school and then expanding to daily travel. In recent days, the ‘Environmentally Conscientious Urban Cyclist’ diploma was awarded, the culmination of a process that directly involved 360 students in the 3rd, 4th and 5th grades of the Sante Gennaro and Rodari elementary schools , as well as 80 other colleagues from the first grade of Sante Gennaro Lower Secondary School.
A job that lasted the whole school year, also aimed at young children, with playthlon teachers, teachers and local police, lessons for children and meetings with Ausal, Seis, Area Blue and the municipality to raise awareness among families . In parallel, the Bicibus project continued with the construction of the Blue Line from San Cassiano and Sante Gennaro.
“‘Cambiamo Rotta’ is a project that promotes active mobility that starts with the involvement of all actors who can contribute to a change in daily travel habits – Elisa Spada, Councilor for the Environment and Sustainable Mobility – A project accepted with great enthusiasm from the students whom we will continue”.
In fact, the municipal administration claims that it has been working “for some time” to “promote active mobility in home-school and home-work travel”. All with the aim of “improving the quality of life in the city by reducing air pollution, promoting health and increasing social ties”, as outlined by the municipality.
“Active mobility affects health and well-being, improves air quality, reduces traffic congestion and develops social skills – concludes Councilor Spada – The greatest satisfaction? Seeing children who don’t know how to ride a bike gain confidence and start pedaling. It is a gift of freedom and joy for us. I thank director Adele D’Angelo and the school community who immediately believed in this project and all the bodies and associations that Those who put enthusiasm and ability in its implementation.
