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
