To promote sustainable mobility at the university, both among students and staff, UniGe has organized and carried out initiatives and projects with the aim of informing and activating the university community on the issue, such as:

PRINCE “Rewards and Incentives for Modal Shift”

The “PRINCE” project is co-funded by the Ministry of Ecological Transition, coordinated by the Municipality of Genoa, and involves the University of Genoa as a partner alongside AMT, Genova Parcheggi, and Genova Car Sharing. The project aims to encourage a shift in travel habits towards sustainable solutions. Thanks to the PRINCE project, it has been possible to collaborate and network the main players in local public transport in the Municipality of Genoa, in order to promote virtuous behavior in students' daily mobility. One of the final results was the testing of an app with which, in 2022, university students who used the AMT Genoa urban public transport network, park-and-ride facilities, Elettra car sharing, and ZENAbyBIKE bike sharing could accumulate points that were converted into rewards and benefits that could be used at participating partners.

To school by bike

The province of Savona, with the support of the Savona Smart Community District, IRE SPA, and in collaboration with the sustainable mobility platform Wecity, has launched this initiative, funded by the Ministry of the Environment and Energy Security as part of the “National Experimental Program for Sustainable Home-School and Home-Work Mobility.” The aim is to promote environmentally friendly modes of transport as alternatives to private combustion vehicles, contributing to the reduction of CO₂ emissions and improving the health, safety, and mental and physical well-being of participants.
