The Egypt Active Mobility Strategy (2025–2034) presents a national framework to promote walking and cycling as safe, accessible, and efficient modes of transport, complementing public transport and reducing reliance on private vehicles. It seeks to improve the quality of life in Egyptian cities through people-centered, low-carbon, and inclusive mobility. The strategy includes design principles, vision and goals, active mobility initiatives, and guiding frameworks for implementation. This encompasses indicators and guidance on monitoring and evaluation, a vision to mainstream walking and cycling into urban planning, and a recommendation for cities to develop a Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan (SUMP) as standard practice to enable funding for relevant interventions based on holistic plans.
The strategy aims to increase the share of active mobility modes, decrease car dependence, improve safety and air quality, and ensure gender inclusion. This will be achieved through several interventions, such as bikeshare systems, parking and vendor management, building pedestrian and cycling networks, and encouraging public engagement. By 2034, Egypt’s cities will have interconnected, inclusive, and low-carbon mobility systems that reduce emissions, improve safety, strengthen public health, and enhance the livability and attractiveness of urban environments
