Putting the European Declaration on Cycling into Practice:
Lessons from Across Europe
European Declaration on Cycling, front
This case study showcases European initiatives that are advancing key principles of the 2024 European Declaration on Cycling.
It presents four project examples that demonstrate tangible progress: empowering women through the TandEM cycling training programme; improving safety for vulnerable road users through Helsinki’s Vision Zero approach; strengthening Europe’s cycling industry via France’s 2030 investment programme; and enhancing multimodality and cycling tourism across the Danube region through the A2PT Action Plan.
Together, these initiatives show how coordinated action, innovation and cross-sector collaboration can expand cycling access, reduce road risks, create high-quality green jobs and support a more integrated and sustainable mobility system across Europe.
