The main objective of this measure is to create a basic awareness of the needs and benefits of sustainable mobility in the city of Ruse and its importance for increasing the citizens quality of life.
A large share of the people living in the Druzhba district use private cars and taxi services to reach the city centre, thus causing congestion, traffic accidents, air pollution and noise. The existing pedestrian crosswalks in the peripheral district of Druzhba are not secure enough and present high risk for accidents leading to injuries and fatalities. Most people with disabilities do not walk on the streets or travel around the city due to the lack of convenient infrastructure. The Municipality of Ruse together with the NGO Club Sustainable Development of Civil Society (CSDCS) will analyse the crosswalks, secure them with LEDs, raised paths etc. and introduce cameras on junctions in the peripheral district.
The research and planning phase of this measure was carried out with the following steps:
In this measure, one training activity was organised for public transport personnel, six workshops for the general public and non-governmental organizations (NGO), three mobility conferences and a large campaign for other stakeholders and the school community. Until the end of 2018 five training events have been performed- one for transport professionals and four dedicated to different target groups: Druzhba residents, school children, NGOs, university staff and doctoral students, as well as one Conference in October for discussing the social aspects of mobility.
The new mobility measures…
Citizens were involved through the various training activities, such as the carried out workshops and attendance at the mobility conferences.
