Subsidies of ethanol, biogas and hybrid trucks. Although trucks only represent five to ten percent of all traffic in Stockholm, they cause almost half of the environmental impact from traffic. An environmental adaptation of road haulage is therefore of high urgency. This could involve anything from logistics and planning to reduce transports and maximise loading, to a transfer to cleaner vehicles and renewable fuels. The City of Stockholm has worked actively with environmental adaptation of passenger cars since the mid 1990s. As a result, a wide range of clean cars are now available on the market and the number of filling stations for renewable fuels is rapidly expanding both in Stockholm and the rest of Sweden. | (59.3293235°, 18.0685808°) | (60.128161°, 18.643501°) | |

The app shows you how to get to these places from your current location by walking, biking or public transport. The goal is to encourage Stockholmers and visitors to consume local experiences and services. Many of the city’s administrations cooperate to gather information about the activities. The app was launched for both iPhone and Android in April, 2011. In an evaluation, Stockholmers answered the question if they think the app is a good way to inspire people to live climate-smart in Stockholm. Eighty-four percent of the inhabitants who had seen information about the app were very positive (53 percent) or positive (31 percent). In November 2012, the app had been downloaded 90,000 times. The app is still continously downloaded and part of marketing Stockholm as a "Walkable city". Stockholm has a "Walking Plan" or Gång plan that focuses on making Stockholm as inviting to pedestrians that are walking as possible. This plan is at present being adapted and part of Stockholm City planning. | (59.3293235°, 18.0685808°) | (60.128161°, 18.643501°) | |
