The importance of National Cycling Strategies: Italy implements new General Plan of Cycling Mobility
Persistent efforts and coordination by ECF Member FIAB pay off with the adoption of a cycling plan at the national level. As outlined in our previous report, cohesive government strategy is a vital catalyst to developing more cycling effectively.

ECF, CIE and CONEBI welcome the European Commission’s “Efficient and Green Mobility” package, which elevates cycling to a priority level across the whole European Union, the successful result of two years of hard work and targeted advocacy.
The cycling action plan, which goes by the name “BE CYCLIST,” lists 52 action points that Belgium’s federal government will implement by 2024. This first-ever federal Belgian cycling plan was welcomed by ECF Members Fietsersbond and Gracq.
