European Mobility Week is an annual campaign on sustainable urban mobility, organised by the European Commission 16-22 September.The aim of the campaign is to promote sustainable transport measures and to invite the public to try out alternatives to car use.

Come along to Clonmel Library during the week and enter your name in the prize draw.

For the week Tipperary Energy Agency (TEA) will hold an information display in Clonmel Library on all aspects of sustainable transport. Of particular interest, will be their ‘Clean Drive’ project. The aim of the project is to increase the sale of cleaner vehicles in Co. Tipperary. Local car dealers, businesses and people are invited to sign up for the Clean Drive Club. In addition, the TEA will be able to give advice on Eco driving, electric cars and public transport options in Clonmel.

Ireland has adopted ambitious EU energy targets of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 20% by 2020. One of the main challenges to this is the increasing volume of travel by private cars. Now is your chance to find out what alternatives exist to taking the car.

This display is presented by Tipperary Energy Agency and Europe Direct Information Centre, Tipperary Libraries. This action has received funding from the European Commission.
