The Sustainable Mobility Law Project was submitted by the Government to the Congress of Deputies on February 12, 2024. As of October 2025, the text has passed the rapporteur phase and is pending the opinion of the Transport Committee and the debate in the Plenary and in the Senate. Although it has not been definitively approved yet, its drafting anticipates a legal framework that introduces, for the first time, direct obligations for private companies, operators, and promoters in terms of mobility, emissions, and transport digitalization.
The future Sustainable Mobility Law will mark a before and after in corporate mobility management. For the first time, private companies, promoters, and transport operators will have to plan, measure, and report their impact on mobility and emissions. Moving forward with diagnostics, mobility plans, and energy efficiency strategies will allow compliance with regulations and strengthen the environmental and social commitment of organizations from day one.
