Air pollution in Athens: The actions and projects to address it

In order to achieve reductions in nitrogen dioxide overruns, the measures taken relate to basic transport infrastructure, MMMs, the promotion of e-mobility, and sustainable urban mobility.

In particular, in the summer of 2022, the operation of the last 3 stations of the metro extension to Piraeus will begin, while the works for the construction of the new line 4 will begin.

In September, the extension of TRAM to Piraeus will be put into operation. At the same time, the suburban railway is being upgraded, while the extensions of Attiki Odos are in progress.

In addition, the Ministry of Environment and Energy has launched a € 30 million program to subsidize municipalities to promote environmentally friendly means of transport.
