If the distance between the places of employment and home remain a major challenge everywhere in the world and in our city, the cross-border nature of movement provides an additional challenge to Greater Geneva. More than 600,000 mouvements are registered at the canton borders every day, the great majority in private vehicles. All together this is a source of noise, congestion, and pollution. Additionally, legislative specificity, economic reasons, urban constructions and densification and the road network will exacerbate the situation. What are the initiatives and new policies that the Conseil d’Etat and the TPG are taking for leading to a better place?
