The NGO "Vision Zero" and the Association "Energy-Efficient Cities of Ukraine" are starting cooperation within the framework of a new one-year project, the main goal of which is to promote the modernization and development of electric public transport in the cities of Ukraine by including it in state policy documents, in particular, in modernization and restoration plans.

The expert team of the NGO "Vision Zero" will provide support to the Association in the development of projects and components on the topic of sustainable urban mobility, collection and dissemination of relevant information on information resources, preparation and holding of educational webinars, round tables and other events. Electric public transport — primarily trams, trolleybuses and battery trolleybuses — is one of the most sustainable means of urban mobility with the lowest emissions of pollutants and greenhouse gases. State and international support for the modernization and development of this type of transport is critically important for the achievement of Ukraine's climate goals and the fulfillment of other international obligations on the way to European integration. According to the NGO "Vision Zero", Ukraine already belongs to the European countries with the largest number of electric public transport systems: 41 trolleybus systems and 18 tram systems. In total, Ukraine had 1,734 kilometers of tram tracks and 2,314 cars, as well as 4,397 kilometers of trolleybus lines and 3,889 trolleybuses before the start of the full-scale invasion. The cooperation project between the NGO "Vision Zero" and AEMU is supported by the European Climate Foundation and will last from August 1, 2023 to July 31, 2024.
