## Program Directions

### 1. Transport and Mobility
Convenient movement across the city — public transport, bike lanes, pedestrian infrastructure, and smart traffic solutions. Vilnius residents spend ~136 hours per year in traffic jams. "Vilnius gali" proposes a light metro (tram) system and modern public transport infrastructure.

### 2. Education and Youth
Investment in schools, kindergartens, and youth spaces. The shortage of places in kindergartens and schools is one of the biggest pain points in today's Vilnius. Quality education should not depend on neighborhood or wallet.

### 3. Housing and Families
Affordable housing, support for young families, and creation of safe living environments. Families cannot give their entire salary just for housing. €1.5 billion worth of construction permits are sitting unissued — bureaucracy is stopping the city from growing.

### 4. Economy and Affordability
Improving the business environment, creating jobs, transparent budget management, and saving taxpayers' money. Vilnius has a record budget — it must be used where it's needed most.

### 5. Environment and Green Solutions
Green spaces, sustainable urban planning, cleaner environment, and energy-saving solutions.

### 6. Safety and Communities
Safe public spaces, strong communities, support for the elderly, and social responsibility.

1. **Human** — the city must belong to its people

3. **Future** — bold ideas and modern solutions
4. **Responsibility** — transparent and accountable governance
