Turku is a city of convenient size, where distances can be covered using a variety of different modes of transport. Turku promotes sustainable mobility for its residents in many ways. The goal is to minimize emissions while maximizing efficiency.

City of Turku’s mobility services offers a wide range of solutions to facilitate sustainable mobility for city residents. Services include city bikes, electric car charging stations, and logistics planning.

— We want to raise awareness of sustainable mobility options and encourage residents to choose environmentally friendly modes of transport, says mobility service manager Risto Peltonen.

Mobility services work in cooperation with, for example, Turku region public transport Föli and the green transition team. Together, they ensure that mobility solutions support the city's overall development goals and strategy for a more sustainable urban mobility.

Easy to get around with a bike or scooter

Turku city bikes, or föllärit, are an easy-to-use and low-emission way to get around! You can easily rent a bike through the app with a one-time or seasonal fee.

Electric scooter companies will operate under micro-transport license terms starting in 2026. With the introduction of the licensing system, the City of Turku will have both the authority and responsibility to set appropriate license terms and monitor compliance.

Turku will continue to regulate the use of rental scooters, parking, and driving speeds when necessary for traffic safety, accessibility, or road maintenance. For more information on renting scooters, please visit the companies' websites.
 

Smooth urban logistics

Urban logistics refers to measures that enable the management and organization of goods traffic in the city center as smoothly as possible. Its development is guided by the sustainable urban logistics plan, which was updated in November 2025. For example, in spring 2025, a parking trial for food delivery drivers was launched, during which two parking spaces in the Market Hall courtyard were designated exclusively for food delivery drivers.

The City of Turku's general plan for public charging of electric vehicles is under development. Once the plan is implemented, Turku will have public charging streets with multiple charging points in dozens of different locations from the city center to the suburbs starting in 2026.

Efficient parking

The City of Turku issues resident and business parking permits, which can be applied for either directly in the Aimo app or at the Monitori Market Square service point. Permit parking coordinates and develops the service to ensure a smooth experience for users.

You can park in one of the five park and ride parking spaces when you buy a mobile single ticket or use mobile season ticket. The parking time limit is 12 hours.

Mobility is constantly being developed

Sustainable mobility projects are used to investigate, test, and pilot issues related to mobility. Once implemented, the pilot projects are incorporated into the regular operations of mobility services.

Projects currently underway include the Schoolhoods project, the SUMPs for BSR project, and the Commuter trains in Southwest Finland project.
