30-06-2021
 

 

 

The second period of the Danube Cycle Plans project was packed with news. The main event was the adoption of the Vienna Declaration which was signed on 18 May 2021. A pan-European Master Plan for Cycling Promotion which was approved by 41 out of 56 member states of UNECE, will become the guiding document for improving cycling conditions throughout Europe.

 

Today's newsletter not only brings news of the project but also a report on the implementation of this important document.

 

We wish you all a beautiful summer and keep on cycling!

THE FIRST EVER PAN-EUROPEAN MASTER PLAN FOR CYCLING PROMOTION ADOPTED! dcp project started with implementation

 
 

The document was created under the heading of the Pan-European Transport, Health and Environment Program (THE PEP).

Thanks to this common European strategy it will be easier for all motivated stakeholders to promote cycling in their countries considering the best available practices. Danube Cycle Plans (DCP) partners have already started to implement some of the recommendations of the master plan:

– Development of National Cycling Plans;

– Definition of a Danube Cycle Route Network, infrastructure design standards and adequate financial support;

– Increase the awareness of relevant stakeholders for the needs of cyclists and increase their capacity to promote cycling.
