Active mobility guide

Autosolism, i.e. traveling alone in a car, represents a major challenge in terms of sustainable mobility. Whatever the journey, short or long, this mode of transport remains one of the main contributors to unnecessary CO₂ emissions and traffic jams.

Every effort counts!

Adopting an alternative to autosolism can have a significant impact on the environment. Even a small change, like going from 1 to 2 passengers in a car, can halve the carbon footprint associated with the journey. That's huge!

The train: optimized time

There's more to train travel than just getting around:
