Cycling Cities
During the COVID-19 pandemic, cities responded quickly to changes in travel demands, providing pop-up cycle lanes, reduced-cost and/or flexible bikeshare access, and other interventions that positioned micromobilty as an essential transport mode. Now, cities are looking to expand access to and bring people back to public transport. Micromobility has a role to play in improving connections with public transport.
In this webinar, speakers will discuss strategies to cultivate multimodal integration. Mackenzie Allan (ITDP) will frame the conversation with an overview of ITDP’s Maximizing Micromobility report and share steps cities can take to better integrate micromobility with public transport. Pranjal Kulkarni (ITDP India) and Carlos Nemesis (ITDP Indonesia) will then review pilot projects in Chennai and Jakarta which leveraged physical and informational integration to link bikeshare and public transport, as well as share outcomes.
