Cycling has significant economic benefits—for individuals, cities, and society—and functions as a low-cost, high-yield, scalable solution to climate and equity issues in cities. Investments in cycling infrastructure create jobs and opportunities to expand existing industries or develop new ones. The scale of investment needed to achieve higher cycle mode shares and have a real impact on climate change is small compared to other modes and strategies, and presents one of the highest returns on investment. 

In this webinar, speakers will share insights into why more people cycling is good for urban economies. Dana Yanocha (ITDP) will present ITDP’s newest report, Making the Economic Case for Cycling, which links investing in cycle infrastructure to quantifiable cost savings and economic opportunities. 

This webinar will feature live interpretations in Spanish, Portuguese and Bahasa Indonesia.
