The Strategy sets a target of increasing the share of cycling to 10% by 2020, and establishes a new national cycling coordinator along with eight regional coordinators.
The vision is to emancipate cycling from other transport modes, making it a regular part of urban and regional transportation systems, and to improve awareness of the benefits of cycling for commuting, recreation, the environment, economy, and public health. The Strategy focuses on four main pillars: increasing cycling's modal share, building and improving cycling infrastructure, establishing institutional coordination at national and regional level, and promoting cycling tourism and leisure alongside everyday utility cycling.
It is estimated that it could reduce the share of road passenger transport in cities up to 10% by 2030. For the purposes of the projections, more conservative estimates of 6% have been used (3% for traffic peak and 3% for off-peak traffic).
This strategy was approved by resolution 223/2013.
