Extensive promotion was carried out by Suceava as part of the overall CATCH project and within each individual technical measure. Promotional activities include:

•  LPG was extensively promoted in Suceava . Results indicated that in the last 2 years of the CATCH project there are approximately 574 LPG vehicles registered in Suceava, of which 219 were newly registered during the 2 year project period. There was also an increase in the number of filling stations selling LPG from 3-9.

•  Strong links were developed between Suceava Municipality and schools, high schools, public institutes and private companies to promote environmentally friendly ways of travelling, clean fuels and LPG cars. Posters, brochures and folders were also distributed widely.

•  Events were held in the low emission zone area to promote it and the positive impact it has on the quality of life in the city, pedestrian facilities, distribution of CATCH promotional material, car free days and environmentally friendly ways to travel.

•  A questionnaire was conducted to establish the public's reaction to the project and measures proposed by the study . Results showed that respondents generally agreed with the CATCH measures. Non-users of public transport and private car owners were less satisfied with the transformation of a main traffic street into a pedestrianised area.
