Abstract: Public transport in rural areas is a crucial point for making there more lively and of course, from a touristic point of view, more attractive and accessible. Nevertheless, with the economic crisis, tourism is a key factor for many subsistence economies. Before, it was an extra complement for home economy but now we are more aware of the possibilities of this activity, not only as an income but also as a tool for creating the external image of the region. Many people before moving to a territory come as tourist, so the territorial marketing is a key for achieving more and more inhabitants. But not everyone has a car, some people, and special targets, as youngsters, elderly people, disable people... that need special attention for making their life as normal as possible. The access of mobility is one of the flagships of the Provincial Government of Teruel, and this is the reason why we are involved in Move on Green. An INTERREG IV C project that study the situation of the transport and Best Practices in 12 mountain territories spread in 10 European countries taking in to account the environmental point of view of the practice
