When? October 1 & 2 – Polydome
Make the Massif Central a living laboratory for tomorrow’s mobility?

Why take part in the Mobility Summit? To contribute your ideas, proposals and constraints to the development of an initial “compass” that will guide the creation of a master plan for mobility in the Massif Central. A unique opportunity to join a collective dynamic on a subject that concerns you.
