About the Webinar

Cycling is a powerful tool to improve transportation and access in cities around the world. Many international agreements encourage cycling growth as a strategy to improve air quality, and NGOs and governments have developed guidance on how to implement specific pro-cycling policies. However, it is often unclear which policies will prove most successful in different locations, and there is little guidance for prioritizing policies. In this webinar, presenters from ITDP will share how two unique tools help cities select policies that will be most effective to quickly grow cycling, and evaluate their progress year over year. Dana Yanocha will present ITDP’s new Toolkit for Rapid Cycling Growth (coming soon), an interactive tool that generates an action plan for cities based on existing conditions. Sonia Medina and Clara Vadillo of ITDP Mexico will discuss Ranking Ciclociudades, a set of indicators used to evaluate changes in cities’ cycling conditions over time. Together, these tools aim to help cities shift people away from private vehicles for short trips, reducing congestion and emissions, improving air quality, and freeing up space for people instead of cars.
