Symposium: High-quality green transportation to KEF
Efficient and environmentally-friendly transportation between Keflavík International Airport and the capital area is extremely important for the future. During an open meeting with key stakeholders, we'll discuss a shared vision for the future, the viability, and potential solutions to the challenges we face. We draw inspiration from other European cities that have undertaken similar projects from which we can learn, and we'll gage the opportunities offered by entities working globally on major infrastructure projects with a focus on eco-friendly transportation.
Reykjavík City, Ministry of Infrastructure, Kadeco, the Regional Planning Committee of the Capital Area, and the Association of Municipalities in Suðurnes are organizing the meeting.
