CIVITAS: ambitious strategies for clean urban transport in Europe The European Commission will be promoting cycling as a healthy and safe way to travel in cities at Velo-City, world's largest conference related to cycling which will take part in Brussels from 12-15 May. The EU is funding a variety of initiatives to encourage cycling as an urban transport mode, such as co-financing the implementation and evaluation of 35 cycling-related measures across the 58 cities that participate in CIVITAS. This is an EU initiative that helps cities to achieve a more sustainable, clean and energy efficient urban transport system. For more about CIVITAS, visit www.civitas.eu.
