Description
The promotion of cycling is a priority of Bavarian transport policy. Everyday cycling in particular must be intensified. The bicycle is often the best means of transportation for commuting to work or the train station - without traffic jams and parking problems. There is also potential in delivery traffic: with and without electric support, cargo bikes are particularly interesting for the "last mile".
With the Bavarian Cycling Act (BayRadG), the Free State of Bavaria has created a solid basis for further strengthening cycling. Among other things, it focuses on high investments and subsidies for the construction of cycle paths, the creation of the 'Bavarian Cycle Network' and support for local authorities in the construction of bicycle parking facilities at train stations and stops. The aim is to build 1,500 kilometers of new cycle paths by 2030.
In order to achieve this goal together with the local authorities and further promote cycling in Bavaria, a wide range of funding opportunities are available at state and federal level. Last but not least, the Free State of Bavaria has opened up many other fields of activity to promote cycling, not least with the 'Climate State of Bavaria Cycling Campaign'.
In addition, the Free State of Bavaria is very keen to reduce the number of traffic accidents - especially in cycling. The main aim of the current Bavarian Road Safety Program 2030 is to provide even better protection for particularly vulnerable road users. The associated cycling action guide addresses the topic of cycling safety in detail. Because only those who feel safe enjoy cycling.
