Mitma awards 1 billion euros from the recovery fund to 170 municipalities and 2 supra-municipal entities to decarbonize and digitalize urban mobility
The Ministry of Transport, Mobility and Urban Agenda (Mitma) has provisionally awarded 1 billion euros of European recovery funds to 170 municipalities and two supra-municipal entities to decarbonize and digitalize urban mobility.
As part of our support to Mitma in the management and execution of the Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan, Ineco has contributed to this first call for aid with the development, publication and resolution of this first call for aid, and working on the second one.
"Decarbonizing mobility is a public health requirement and an urgent need to mitigate climate change and to meet our international commitments," said Minister Raquel Sánchez at the presentation of the resolution of the grants that took place this morning at Ministry. "We have to stop building cities for cars and do it for people and regain prominence for a public space in which relationships that create coexistence are built," she said.
The grants will directly benefit the 24.5 million people living in the municipalities awarded (INE data as of January 1, 2020) so that, on average, a municipality of 100,000 inhabitants has access to 4,000,000 euros of funding.
A second call with 500 million euros is expected to be published in 2022, to complete the €1.5 billion envisaged for this task.
