Minister of Sustainable Development and Infrastructure François Bausch will participate in Velocity 2017 in Arnhem and Nijmegen in the Netherlands this week, joining some 1,500 experts from 80 countries.
Luxembourg's efforts to develop active mobility in general and the "Declaration on bicycle as a mode of transport" signed by EU ministers in a meeting organised by the Luxembourg Presidency in 2015 already have a reputation far beyond the EU.
During Velocity, one of the recommendations of this declaration, a "European strategy for cycling", will be presented to the European Commissioner for Transport, Violeta Bulc. At the Mayor's session on June 16, 2017, the Minister Bausch will exchange with his colleagues and about thirty mayors of major cities on the best way to integrate cycling into a multimodal offer Of mobility. The ministerial delegation, represented by the Ministry's Mobility Unit and the Sustainable Mobility Division of the Roads and Bridges Administration, will take advantage of the event to exchange best practices on cycling infrastructure.
