On 25 March 2014, the European Commission announced the winners of the Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan Award for 2013 – Rivas Vaciamadrid (Spain) – and of the European Mobility Week Award – Ljubljana (Slovenia). Commission Vice-President Siim Kallas and Commissioner Janez Potočnik had presented the cities with their awards at a joint award ceremony in Brussels, Belgium the day before.

The annual Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan Award is presented to local authorities which are excellent examples of how to address urban mobility challenges through developing and implementing sustainable urban mobility plans. Each year has a particular focus and the 2013 awards recognise cities with mobility plans illustrating the ‘integration of economic, social, and environmental policy criteria’.
