Helsinki’s vision is to be the most functional city in the world. According to the Helsinki city strategy, the City is also striving to become carbon-neutral by 2035. Promotion of cycling and integrating cycling as a functional part of the transport system are highly significant factors in achieving both of these goals. Cycling is promoted because it helps achieve time savings, more efficient use of space, health benefits, environmental benefits, financial benefits and improved traffic safety. This Bicycle Action Plan will primarily focus on the ways of improving the different sectors of cycling infrastructure.
