THE PATH LESS TRAVELLED : SCALING UP ACTIVE MOBILITY TO CAPTURE ECONOMIC AND CLIMATE BENEFITS
In the years since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, many cities and countries have taken action to position and promote active mobility—cycling and walking—as transport modes. Demand for active mobility during the pandemic skyrocketed, and cities and governments responded by making more space on streets, providing free access to bikeshare systems, and allocating budgets to bicycle purchase incentives.
More and more cities worldwide are interested in building cycle lanes and pedestrian networks that improve access to public transportation and enable low-carbon mobility. However, due to chronic under-valuing and under-investment in cycling, few cities outside Northern Europe have a complete network of protected bicycle lanes or the sustained funding needed to develop and maintain cycle infrastructure at scale.
