Rome prepares for the Jubilee of Hope in 2025 from a privileged perspective of urban mobility.

A must-read interview with Roma Capitale Deputy Mayor Eugenio Patanè, conducted by project partner Eurocities, discusses the Italian capital's vision and commitment to hosting the "2025 Jubilee of Hope," from a privileged perspective of urban mobility

With 35 million pilgrims expected to descend upon Rome in 2025, the city has received €530 million dedicated to mobility from the Italian government. These funds will be divided equally across four clusters:

-Increasing the quality and quantity of public transport;

-Promoting sustainability and intermodality;

-Advancing active mobility, including cycling, pedestrian infrastructure, and micro-mobility;

-Leveraging technological innovation to support sustainability policies.

"Upper has been crucial to increasing the modal share as well as the perceived customer satisfaction and will advance in the deployment of zero-emission zones starting from the city center towards the outskirts according to a roadmap. Through this rapid development of public transport and mobility management policies, we’re accelerating decarbonization in our own city. Upper gives us an important opportunity to share and learn best practices to improve our mobility vision and even more so, our operative plan.” Quite a rewarding message from Mr Patanè
