On Saturday and Sunday, 4-5 September, Tallinn celebrates the beginning of the Green Mobility Month and holds an event “Green Journey in the Heart of the City”, which will take place on Estonia puiestee and Tammsaare Park to raise awareness about green mobility and encourage sustainable means of transport.

The Tallinn City Government approved a cooperation agreement with electric scooter rental companies to enable riders use the bicycle parking places created in the city centre free of charge.

From Monday, 1 May, Bolt will set the maximum speed of electric scooters in the centre of Tallinn as 20 km/h on most streets as opposed to the previous 25 km/h. This is a pilot project born in cooperation with the Tallinn City Government and the police. The purpose is to calm traffic and monitor the change in traffic behaviour.

Tallinn has prepared a guide for the construction of bicycle parking spaces to provide an overview of the possibilities for creating bike parking facilities.

Some one-way roads in Tallinn have had traffic signs installed that permit bicycle traffic in the opposite direction as well. More places like this will be created, as installation of signs on several streets began last week.

During the 13th Youth Song and Dance Festival from 30 June to 2 July, the city of Tallinn will have special buses leaving the city centre, make some public transport lines run more frequently and create designated parking areas for bicycles and scooters. Tallinn’s public transport is free for all passengers during the big celebration – from 30 June to 2 July.

On Monday, 19 June, the youth-oriented summer of festivals will officially begin at Inglirand. Five youth festivals will be taking place throughout the summer.

Starting on 7 August, a pilot project will be launched in collaboration with the electric scooter rental services Bolt and Tuul. This project aims to create 126 new spaces in the Tallinn city centre specifically designed for parking scooters. The purpose of this project is to make the city space more organised and to make the parking of light vehicles safer for pedestrians. Electric scooter users will have the opportunity to familiarise themselves with the new parking places and their usage until the end of August. Starting from 1 September, the changes will become mandatory, meaning that electric vehicle rentals will only be allowed to end at the designated parking areas.
