Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action

Active Travel and Urban Planning Focusing on Cycling: Discussion

Mr. Fabian Küster:

I cannot speak for the Netherlands. I think its objective is still to grow the number of cyclists by 20% so it wants to go further.

The UK committed to spend a given budget of £1.2 billion in this 2017-21 parliamentary term.

It has a clear objective to increase cycling. It wants to double the stages of cycling between now and 2024. There was a clear reference and commitment to do that. That is why we put the UK on the top.
