The comprehensive development of cycling with a full scale
network of 270 km in Lviv/Ukraine will reduce carbon emissions from the transport sector by
111,600 tonnes per year in 2030, compared to the BAU-scenario. The cumulative reduction from
2020 to 2030 amounts to 940,420 tonnes. It clearly demonstrates that SHIFT-measures, such as
development of cycling, can contribute to the reduction of CO2-emissions. In addition,
positive co-benefits such as reduced reliance on fossil fuels, better health, improved road
safety and better affordability can be expected.

The development of cycling is associated with the
transformation of the urban mobility paradigm. Cycling, walking and public transport
development go hand in hand. This will result in positive co-benefits such as reduced
reliance on fossil fuels, better health, improved road safety and better affordability can be
expected.

The lessons learnt and results from Lviv are actively
communicated in other cities and on national fora. The integrated and comprehensive approach
is replicable in other cities in Ukraine and beyond. The long planning horizon until 2019
ensures that urban mobility patterns will be transformed in a sustainable way and as the
network grows, more and more citizens will start cycling. In terms of awareness raising, the
European Mobility Week provides an excellent opportunity for numerous activities, such as
bike excursions, competitions, girls-on-bikes parades and other activities. Documentation
