The second version of the Plan Vélo was presented on September 20th, 2022. The core objectives of the plan are:
1. making cycling and walking an attractive alternative to the individual car for proximity trips and combined with public transport for the displacements of longer distances.
2. leverage economic benefits by accompanying the ecosystem of French bicycle actors.
3. Make the bike accessible to everyone, from an early age and throughout life.
The plan is organised around the following measures.
