The Mobile Publicity Center, which carries out publicty
and visibility activities within the scope of the Sectoral
Operational Programme for Transport (USOP) of the Ministry of Transport and
Infrastructure, has been meeting with students in various cities of Türkiye
since May 2022. The Mobile Publicity Center, which travels around with its
slogan “#USOPOnTheWay”, ensures that primary, secondary and high school
students, teachers and thus the parents of those students are aware of the
important projects carried out in the transportation sector by our country with
the European Union and the current developments in the transportation sector.
#USOPontheway informs the young people about the
Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan (SUMP) projects, which are implemented to
facilitate a competitive, accessible and sustainable transport system in our
country at the level of European Union standards. #USOPOnTheWay also gives
information on Çerkezköy - Kapıkule (ÇE-KA) project that will connect the Iron
Silk Road to Europe via Türkiye and teach them why intelligent transportation
systems have the concepts such as sustainability, accessibility, green public
transportation and reducing carbon emissions.
The #USOPontheway school campaign has started in
Ankara in May 2022 and continued with the schools in Tekirdağ in June. In
September, with the start of the new academic year, our next stop was Izmir. As
September was the European Mobility Week, The Mobility Center also participated
in the "Pedal to School" event that was implemented within the
framework of the Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan (SUMP). At the end of
September and all through October, the base for the student informing campaign
was first Kayseri and then Ankara.
Since the school campaign started, almost 10,000 students
have been directly contacted and their questions answered for 12 weeks in
total. Within the scope of the campaign, jigsaw puzzle, models of our
#USOPOnTheWay Mobile Publicity Center and informative brochures were
handled to students.
