But progress exists. EV sales up 25% in 2024. Cities reclaiming space from cars. The UN Decade of #SustainableTransport just launched. The question is scale — and political will. #ElectricVehicles #ActiveMobility #CarFree #Decarbonisation
E-mobility is in 78% of NDCs. Meanwhile: bus rapid transit dropped from 19 NDCs to 8. Active mobility is in just 28%. Mode share targets fell from 28% to 12%.
Freight (43% of transport CO₂) appears in only 41% of climate plans.

By switching to electric bikes,
your 30km rides become 55km rides.

The new pro-car suburban mayor of #Montreal should take notes from @paris.fr
"Lesson two is that banishing cars doesn’t hurt an urban economy. Retailers often worry it will deter their customers. Studies repeatedly show it doesn’t."

🚩🚩🚩 “too tall and isn’t what council wants to see in that part of the downtown.”
Excuse me - guess Victoria council prefers sprawl and homelessness over walkable homes downtown. #sprawl #nimby #infill #activemobility #Victoria
While new #carbrain #Montreal administration cut in half the budget for new @biximontreal.com bikes and stations
#Toronto is spending $10M to add 950 bikes on its #bikeshare network

78% of NDCs feature e-mobility — but 'Avoid' and 'Shift' measures are falling behind. Freight, aviation and informal transport remain blind spots. Technology alone won't decarbonise the sector.

Catalonia's new Rapid Bus Corridor shakes things 🚌
POLIS member #Catalonia has just completed the construction of the #RapidBusCorridor between Girona and Salt. More than just infrastructure, it combines #ActiveMobility, #RoadSafety, and high-quality #PublicTransport 🚋🚲

🚲 Sparking #ActiveMobility in the Philippines! In Quezon City and Pasig City, the IKI-funded #SPARKproject shows how short-term street pilots can boost walking and cycling, cut emissions, and build strong community ownership.

Cities for people, not cars!
via @bicycledutch.bsky.social : "As Dutch cities continue to grow, space is increasingly needed for walking, cycling and public transport. At the same time, councils are working to create greener and more climate-resilient streets."
#carfree #urbanism #activemobility
💚 "Low traffic neighbourhoods are people centered streets"
Great #urbanplanning in the city of London
Priotizing people, not cars, with modal filters, daylighting, and much more. 🙌🏻
Montreal not going far enough to limit cars in residential areas.

But EM cut investments in @biximontreal.com by half for 2026, from $10 M to $5 M
So expansion of the #bikeshare service won't go as fast at the previous years.

Imagine a city where every walk is a discovery and every bike ride is a breeze. ✨ That's the promise of integrating active transportation into urban design.
