Technical assistance and mobility studies

The role of the municipalities is essential ensuring the population quality of life and mobility. It is an important factor in the settlement of citizens, as it allows access to essential services, employment, education, health, and leisure. Mobility is a social right. Public transport is therefore an essential service that must be urgently adapted to different population needs. The realization of studies and advice in the field of mobility and transport meets the legal framework (defined in Law No. 52/2015 and DL 60/2016) and allows empowering public entities with relevant information about the mobility needs of citizens and the identification of critical points in the territory and respective mitigation measures.
