Mobility vouchers are back until June 15th
Legnano – I am 600 users have already registered on the WECITY app and that since the beginning of the initiative in Legnano hcycled 62 thousand kilometers per year, divided between higher education institutions and individual workers, for one sum spent in the city’s commercial establishments amounting to 55 thousand euros and that from Tuesday 23 April, they will be able to return to cycling by earning CO2 coins, to be spent in the almost fifty accredited businesses. In fact, the mobility voucher initiative starts again until June 15th, which is part of the project “The Alto Milanese goes into sustainable mobility”, with which the municipal council contributes to encourage cycling, on a scooter or on foot, and neighborhood commerce, from today, in fact, the deadlines are also open for commercial establishments to be accredited for the use of mobility vouchers. The overall value of the mobility vouchers approved by the Legnano executive is equal to 6 thousand 657 eurosa sum that allows you to add 200 new users to the 600 already registered.
Workers or students over the age of 16 who live, work or study in Legnano can obtain accreditation by registering on the WECITY app, which they must activate during each journey from home to work and home to school and vice versa, to monitor the km traveled and accrue the credit, equal at 0.25 euros per kilometer traveled in a sustainable way.
“We have managed to recover some resources from the ministerial funding and we are making it available to workers and students who, by moving in a sustainable way to reach their workplace or school, will be able to help support the neighborhood traders of our city”, underlines Monica Berna Nasca. “The ministry had conceived the mobility voucher initiative with multiple purposes: not only to encourage alternative mobility to that of private cars, benefiting the commercial businesses that joined the project, but also to trigger a virtuous mechanism in local communities whereby, once the vouchers have been exhausted allocated funds, the vouchers would be financed by the commercial operators themselves. My hope is that, given the good feedback, the initiative can continue with the help of our economic fabric”.
The possibility of earning mobility vouchers is extended until June 15th. The vouchers must be spent by the following day, Sunday 16 June.
