Riga (Latvia)
Riga, Latvia's capital, is actively pursuing sustainable mobility initiatives to reduce emissions and enhance urban livability. The city has introduced hydrogen-powered trolleybuses, with 10 units currently in operation, marking a pioneering effort in the Baltic region. Additionally, a €16.7 million project, co-financed by the EU, aims to deploy 17 electric buses and establish 7 fast-charging stations, further promoting the transition to emission-free public transport. Riga's "Mobility Vision 2050" emphasizes the development of pedestrian and cycling infrastructure, the expansion of public transport, and the creation of high-quality public spaces to reduce car dependency and improve quality of life. The "Commuting Master Plan" outlines strategies for enhancing sustainable mobility in the metropolitan area, including the development of mobility hubs and improved regional connectivity.
