Greek Islands Introduce Sustainable Mobility Systems

Various islands in Greece have started research in order to discover new ways to operate a more sustainable and environmentally-friendly mobility and transportation system. With populations growing substantially during the summer months because of the influx of tourists, such systems are needed now more than ever.

The Sustainable Island Mobility Plan (SIMP) was created in order to offer easy, economic and flexible solutions to the mobility issue of the Greek islands by using methods such as the limiting of the use of cars, the promotion of carpooling, the introduction of electric vehicles, the reduction of speed limits and the improvement of existing parking spaces as well as the creation of new ones.

The first SIMP will be designed for the islands of Sifnos, Kea, Small Cyclades, and Naxos.
