An ambitious target of reducing CO emissions by 40% by 2020; 128,000m of road resurfaced with noise-optimised asphalt; A water management system with multifunctional green areas used for rainwater management, flood prevention and groundwater recharge to prevent rainwater from entering the combined sewer network in at least 15% of the area served by those sewers; 376 km of bicycle lanes: increase cycling by 25% until 2035; Creation of 20 000 jobs in the environmental sector by 2025; 95% of the population now living within 300m of green urban areas; Car travel to be reduced by 29% by 2035; No landfill of domestic ...[+++]waste since the 1960s; Recycling target of 65% by 2020.

The differences of course mirror the popularity of cycling in different Member States but also e.g. the safety of bike paths, the safety awareness of cyclists themselves (e.g. helmet use) and the awareness among drivers of the safety of surrounding cyclists.

7. Calls on the Member States to protect the most vulnerable road users by improving the safety of pedestrians, removing architectural barriers, establishing safe pedestrian-only routes and supporting ‘walking buses’ and safe routes between home and school; further calls on the Member States to improve bike mobility by providing dedicated and safe cycling paths and bike parking areas, and by promoting and implementing bike sharing services; calls on the Commission and the Member States, in order to further stimulate bike mobility, to put forward amendments to the Vienna Convention on Road Traffic in order to modernise traffic rules in ...[+++]urban areas so as to ensure that cyclists are given the best protection possible;

17. Calls on the authorities to promote ways to reduce the demand for transport by enhancing the use of teleworking and ICT tools and to be aware of the figures of the Eurobarometer survey that show that EU citizens are concerned about the negative impact of increased traffic in cities, considering traffic congestion (76 %), air quality (81 %) and accident rates (73 %) to be the most serious problems; calls on the Commission to monitor the new forms of mobility related to transport (e.g. self-drive vehicles), to carry out, in cooperation with the Member States, an analysis of all available measures helping to minimise the number of injuries and deaths, in particular of pedestrians and cyclists, and to promote the use of bicycles in cities, ...[+++] along with investment in cycling lanes and measures to raise awareness among road users regarding safety for cyclists; points out that cycling plays an important role in contemporary planning of sustainable urban mobility and that it is part of the solution for preventing congestion; stresses that segregated cycle/pedestrian paths should be included as a matter of course when building or restoring roads; reiterates in this respect that the increased use of bicycles in cities enhances traffic flow, improves public health and reduces the carbon footprint; stresses that an increased use of bicycles in cities could contribute to the Europe 2020 objectives; asks the Member States to continue building ring roads in order to minimise the number of vehicles going unnecessarily through cities, and calls on the Commission to find ways to support these projects financially; stresses that more efforts need to be undertaken in order to reduce the number of cars in the city; calls on local authorities to promote policies to encourage green transport by providing facilities, reducing taxes and establishing green certificates;
