Call for a Roadmap in the EC’s 2018 annual Work plan The opinion: An EU Roadmap for Cycling Main messages: Call for a Roadmap in the EC’s 2018 annual Work plan Doubling cycling across the EU Sustainable transport hierarchy in urban planning Minimum cycling infrastructure quality criteria for EU projects Suggestion of default speed limit of 30 km/h in urban areas Establishing a network of cycling contact points within the EC Clearing house of projects, funding possibilites, guidelines for LRAs Common data collection methodology harmonised defintions for national and urban data on cycle use

Data: what we have, what we need Modal split data: AS-IS: Eurobarometer survey on most used mode of transport on a typical day based on estimation of respondents, no verification active modes might be under-represented relatively small sample size (ca. 28,000 respondents for the whole EU) irregular publication data available for EU and national level only; data on socio-demographic characteristics only at EU level TO-BE: comparable modal split data (mobility studies/national travel surveys) data in national travel surveys should be based on GPS tracking or at least log books, not on subjective surveys should include trip stages, distance and ideally also time; trip purpose; socio-demographic data (age, income class,…) appropriate sample size regular updates at EU, national, regional and local level

Road safety data: AS-IS: Data on fatalities from road accidents Data: what we have, what we need Road safety data: AS-IS: Data on fatalities from road accidents no data on injuries from accidents no relation to cycling levels countries with low levels of cycling (e.g. Malta) seem safer than those with high levels (e.g. Netherlands) just because absolute fatality numbers are lower TO-BE: Comprehensive accident data in relation to cycling levels data on injuries relating fatalities + injuries to cycled kilometres and ideally also time spent cycling

Data: what we have, what we need Public bike schemes: AS-IS: fragmented, mostly private overviews of public bike systems e.g. http://bikeshare.com/map/ TO-BE: Comparable data on public bike systems as an integral part of public transport Number of stations + bikes Usage rate: time that the bikes are in use

Investment in cycling: Data: what we have, what we need Investment in cycling: AS-IS: Fragmented data from different levels of governance no common methodology cycling investments often not counted separately TO-BE: Comparable data on investments Concrete numbers on specific cycling investments or cycling investments as part of other road infrastructure projects Investment levels in absolute numbers, per head of population and as a percentage of total transport investments
