Chamber Awards Recognition for Cork City 'car free day'
Cork Chamber awarded for 'Local Authority Engagement' by Chambers Ireland.
Cork’s inaugural Car Free Day, held on September 23rd, 2023, was a collaborative effort involving Cork Chamber, Cork City Council, the Transport and Mobility Forum, and other stakeholders. Responding to research, the initiative aimed to reduce emissions, air pollution and traffic congestion while promoting sustainable travel and enhancing the city's vibrancy.
By successfully implementing Cork’s first Car-Free Day, we piloted a transformative approach to urban mobility and demonstrated the feasibility and benefits of car-free initiatives. This inaugural event served as a blueprint for future Open Streets Events, paving the way for ongoing efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, promote sustainable transportation, and create a more vibrant and liveable city for all.
