September was a busy month in Sustainable Travel and Road Safety Awareness. In terms of road safety, the Quarterly Road Safety Working Together group meeting took place. This is a multiagency group including both local authorities the Gardai and other emergency services which looks at road safety issues share experiences and knowledge September contained both European Mobility Week and Bike Week. European Mobility Week was kicked off with the launch of a new electric bike awareness initiative wE-bike. This initiative was a collaboration of the local authorities, environmental groups, business and the Cork Credit Unions. The aim was to promote electric bikes and provide information from electric bike users, from retailers, how to finance the purchase of electric bikes etc. A new website was launched, and this was supplemented by a billboard campaign. A broad range of ambassadors were chosen to explain how electric bicycles have made a significant impact in their lives. This has been a very successful project with articles in both local and national media on this worthwhile project
