Monaco, a city-state of 2.5 km², operating within a limited territory, daily knows migrations, tourism and freight transport.
To ensure sustainability of quality of life, the Principality of Monaco is committed to soft mobility, a concept based on different strategies which aim to limit and fluidize the transport routes.
The urban transport plan allows the Principality of Monaco to improve transport flows, to reduce the use of private vehicles, and to encourage the use of public transport.
Much work has been performed, always in a logic of flows fluidization.
