How it works

Connect destinations via comfortable routes and offer visible, protected and suitable parking for different cycles.

It changes the physical, economic and organizational conditions so that walking, pedaling, sharing and using collective transport is viable and attractive.

When does it make sense?

  • When deciding location, accesses and parking
  • Knowing origins, schedules, capabilities and travel needs
  • Where the measure does not displace more inclusive or less impact options
