Their aspiration is a society where:- People who travel on foot enjoy accessible, safe and dignified mobility.
- Road safety is a public health priority.
- Actively mobile people are seen as legitimate road users with equal dignity and rights, overcoming the current motor-normative culture.
- Public spaces are accessible and livable for all citizens regardless of circumstances, conditions and physical abilities, also through a redistribution of such spaces.
Their current goals:
- Increase visibility and social relevance of pedestrian mobility, strengthen civic awareness on the right to public space
- Network and act actively to promote the right to safe and accessible active mobility
- Disseminate data, reports and evidence on road safety, active mobility and use of public spaces
- Promote the non-discriminatory and motor-normative narrative of mobility and road safety
- Collaborate with local, national and international associations, institutions, civic and academic organizations
