European Mobility Week 2026
The annual European Mobility Week runs Sept. 16–22. The campaign encourages people to choose various sustainable transportation options that are affordable and healthy.
Transportation for all
Since 2002, Icelandic municipalities have joined European cities in promoting sustainable transportation. The Ministry for the Environment, Energy and Climate oversees the Icelandic campaign. This year's theme is Transportation for All.
A full lineup of events
Organizations and municipalities will host events. Schedule information is available on the municipalities' homepages and the Mobility Week Facebook page.
Transportation conference
Among the events on the schedule this year is the ITS Transportation Conference, taking place on the opening day of Mobility Week, Sept. 16.
Resource loop
To celebrate Mobility Week, Reykjavík Energy is hosting a Resource Loop tour in Elliðaárdalur on Sept. 17, and later that day at 4 p.m., BMX Bros will offer a class and exhibit at Miðbæjartorg square in Mosfellsbær.
Open house
Transport for the Capital Area and Public Transit — formerly Strætó Public Transport — will host an open house Sept. 18 from 2 to 4 p.m. at its new Hafnarstræti 7 offices.
Postponed: New bike and pedestrian bridge
The formal dedication of the new cycling and pedestrian bridge over the Elliðaár at Dimma will be held at a date to be announced.
Car Free Day
The campaign concludes with Car-Free Day on Sept. 22, when the public is encouraged to leave their cars at home. To make that easier, city bus service in the capital area will be free.
