Our goal is to collaborate with the schools in the city and enlist the children and teenagers in our program, which will end with an exam that will allow them to gain a certificate for this training, this preparing them as participants in traffic and further on as adults, to become responsible and know traffic safety rules more profoundly.
This will be the first initiative of this kind in our city, and it should impact at the local level in terms of increasing safety in traffic and decreasing congestion, as this program will hopefully create the habit in future adults to leave the private car at home and use the bike.
We are thinking about collaborating with cities from Hungary and Serbia, as they are close to the border as Timisoara also is, if this program will have fine results, and make it more interactive and multicultural, thus increasing its scale. We will promote intensively our initiative, via mass media, socializing networks, and also in schools. The plan is to continue these activities on a yearly basis. The project’s impact or potential success will be measured by our indicators described further on.
We already made a project proposal and we carried out steps to obtain the authorizations for the documents necessary for the construction of the polygon. In the near future there will be an auction for the engineering of the project (construction).
