This year, Y4PT has launched the “Y4PT International HealthYMobilitY Year 2014-2015“. During the month of March 2014, the HealthYMobilitY Event Week encouraged people around the world to move by using public transport, cycling and/or walking and to share the experience filling up the online survey.

This campaign represents only the start of many more actions to be created from now till the Y4PT Worldwide Youth Summit that will take place in Milan 2015, during the UITP Worldwide Congress and Worldwide Expo with the theme “Feeding the Planet, Energy for Life”.
