30 Second global budget, : 4 91 mio Completion of cycle route network Opening one-way streets for contra-flow cycling Creation of cycle parking facilities Data management Communication, promotion measures in the cycle route network) Improvements (85% solutions) safe routes to school Complementary measures (i.e. signage) 3.7 Mio pure cycling projects only quick check of remaining one.-way streets Data + conceptions quick realisation in case of clear need for action City, residential areas, stations and stops of public transport: quantity + quality! Reserven einplanen revision of parking regulation inventory of cycling infrastructure / cycle parking facilities in GIS Surveys, countings, inquiries acquisition of counting equipment campaigns + actions; printed information education, advice, safety (children, migrants) intersectoral co-ordination + cooperation (e.g. police, health, schools, environment) eventually EXTRA budget BYPAD platform final conference, Tartu/Estonia, September

31 Principles for realisation + financing 1 Duration safeguarding a quick realisation 2 Who pays? Cycle measures depending of or at the same time as road construction projects Main cost unit Big cycling projects (cycle parkings, tunnels, bridges etc.) Via separate budget, which needs to be decided by the cantonal council Pure cycle measures global budget Involving cycling Principal involvement of cycling in all road construction projects/ in all changes of traffic circulation/ traffic management Bigger projects Accelerate realisation Initiate as early as possible Co-determination working group cycling: persons concerned can have an early look into the workshop Project committe Cycling: Cycling and walking co-ordinator, head of building department, representatives of the quarters in question, bicycle user group etc. 6 reporting annual BYPAD platform final conference, Tartu/Estonia, September

32 Strengths of Basel s cycling policy Continuity Financing Parameters Cooperation cycling is on the political agenda for more than 30 years because of global budgets for several years only yearly decision of what, not if clear regulations about cost units Cycling is integrated part of the overall mobility policy Cycle route network plan: whenever a road section is to be under construction, cycling is taken into account relating to importance of the section in the cycle route network Cantonal standards and demands guarantee quality between departments helps to profit from positive synergies Co-determination clearly regulated for all persons/ organisations involved BYPAD platform final conference, Tartu/Estonia, September
