Another project of @CityOfTirana @aprtirana and @GIZAlbania is about to be opened for the public.
Later this year, all school kids will be able to attend the cycling school incl. practical and theoretical exams.
Very happy about this collaboration.

Very happy that this project of ours is finally online.
All people and visitors in Tirana can now use Google maps to navigate the city’s bus network.
We are also working with the city to make information available at bus stops, provide real-time info etc.

Some years back we developed this policy paper on electric buses, jointly with @ebrd and @UITPnews, @DavidLeeder2 and @alokjainhk. Very happy to have been part of this.

Tirana will invest €1 million to build 20 “school streets” in 2024, which redesign corridors around the needs of kids and their carers.
This will double the number of such interventions, and get it 40% of the way towards its goal of protecting every neighborhood school by 2026. – at Albania

We couldn’t be more excited about this announcement from @CityOfTirana.
Well on our way now to #everyschool protected & pedestrianized by 2026!

HUGE: @CityOfTirana is showing up for kids, announcing a 1 million euro investment to expand its school streets program to 20 schools in 2024. For comparison, 762k was the largest single year investment in its rapidly expanding cycle network, back in 2019. @Qendra_M
Congrats to everyone involved in the school street programme of @CityOfTirana. Big expansion planned for 2024 for safer & more fun spaces around schools.
So happy to work with @erionveliaj @Anuela @Qendra_M etc. to bring this to life.

One European city is on track to bring the revolutionary "school streets" model to every child who lives within it borders — and it's throwing down the gauntlet to U.S. communities that have been slow to embrace the game-changing concept. HT @Qendra_M.

Lots of headlines written about how EV demand is faltering. Is it?
Global EV sales are on pace for a record year. Heading for around 14 million sold, up 36%.
