Guidance for Cycling Projects in the EU
The European Commission has published a comprehensive website with guidelines for cycling projects in the EU. The target group is practitioners in city administrations with responsibility for cycling and/or sustainable transport, as well as interested other stakeholders involved in urban cycling. The guide is divided into 9 topics. We give you some hints:
- Besides BYPAD you will find further policy development and evaluation tools.
- Find arguments how a modal shift to cycling can contribute to reducing challenges that cities face here!
- Fact sheets on possible cycling measures can be downloaded.
- Even planning guides for cycling in cities and quality guidelines for design as well as a summary of successful implementation of cycling measures are provided!
