For the last 25 years the EU Cycling Group (EUCG) has been promoting the use of the bicycle among EU staff and campaigning for bicycle infrastructure and amenities, air quality and road safety around the EU institutions. With a membership of 2 800 residents of Belgium interested in local issues, we have relationships with a number of local authorities and Belgian bicycle organisations. No other bicycle group in Belgium includes a bigger number of employees from a single organisation. Our membership is diverse, ranging from casual commuters to serious sport enthusiasts. We have a track record of delivering real impact, ranging from the introduction of Vélomai (an internal challenge promoting bicycle use) to running workshops on how to start cycling in Brussels, how to buy an e-bike, how to avoid theft and how to bike with children. If you work for the EU institutions and you want to sign up or find out more, send an email to EUCG.membership@gmail.com or check out the EUCG’s website.

Safer roads by 2030: How far have we come? 👇 In 2023, the EU saw a 1% decrease in road fatalities, with 20,400 lives lost. That’s a 10% decrease since 2019, but not enough to achieve our targets. We need more progress to halve road deaths by 2030 and achieve #VisionZero: zero road deaths by 2050. Last year, we proposed new measures to tackle road safety and are currently developing guidance to help authorities make our road infrastructure safer. Together – road users, infrastructure managers, and authorities at all levels – we need to do more to make our roads safer for everyone.

🚨 New study! 🚨 Today, EIT Urban Mobility, is launching a groundbreaking study on the “Costs and Benefits of the Mobility Transition in Europe”. This report dives into the transformation towards sustainable urban mobility across 12 European city prototypes, assessing three critical scenarios for reaching the Green Deal targets! Our goal is to continue supporting cities across Europe of all shape and size in their sustainable transition. Some of the key findings: 🌍 By 2030, mobility technology can reduce CO2 emissions by 21%, but we need strong public transport and shared mobility plans to hit the 55% target. 🚆 Public transport remains the most affordable solution, with ridership projected to rise by 7%, while private car trips could fall by 16%. 🚴 Walking and cycling could generate €1,170 in health savings per person by 2050. 🛑 Improved road safety measures could cut traffic fatalities by up to 70%. For more insights, check-out the full report: https://shorturl.at/5sZ8l and join us at Tomorrow.Mobility where we will host a round table on the topic with TRT TRASPORTI E TERRITORIO SRL .

Did you know that about a third of car trips in the EU cover less than 3 kilometers? By using more sustainable transport, we can all help save energy and reduce air pollution. Here is a simple set of actions we can all take: 🚲 Walk or cycle for short journeys 🚋 Use public transport more 🔑 Leave your car at home on Sundays in large cities. Surely, this hasn't been difficult to follow today on #CarFreeDay! 1929 cities across 43 countries are joining together under the motto ‘Shared public spaces,’ showcasing their commitment to cleaner, more sustainable urban transport during #MobilityWeek.
