Cycle infrastructure networks are a cost-effective way to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. While they serve as a way to generate climate, health, and economic benefits, cycle infrastructure networks are historically under-invested and overlooked compared to larger, more expensive transportation projects. Join the Institute for Transportation and Development Policy (ITDP) for a webinar on the push to scale up financing for bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure. This event will cover how governments, financial institutions, and philanthropic and civil society organizations can push for more active mobility projects to reach transportation, climate, and economic goals.
