National Cycling Plan 3.0

The National Cycling Plan is the Federal Government’s strategy for the promotion of cycling in Germany. It includes concepts, thematic focuses and concrete objectives that the Federal Government, federal states and local authorities as well as additional actors pursue within their field of responsibilities.

The current National Cycling Plan will apply until the end of 2020. Therefore, it is now time to look ahead and develop the next cycling plan. In order to do so, we have invited numerous experts to engage in a professional dialogue and called upon all citizens to contribute as well.

The way towards the National Cycling Plan 3.0

Shaping the future of cycling together
Cycling is not only good for your health and quality of life, it is also a social trend. More and more people are cycling these days. Furthermore, cycling is good for the environment and the climate. To further develop the National Cycling Plan, we want to include not only technical experts but also, and in particular, cyclists - including those who could become cyclists.

We will gather ideas, wishes and suggestions concerning cycling until 30 June 2019 at zukunft­radverkehr.bmvi.de (German only). The contributions will be taken into account during the technical debates. In these debates, representatives from academia, associations, public authorities and industry as well as civil society will discuss proposals, potential and ideas on all relevant topics for 12 months. The outcomes will lead to the further development of the National Cycling Plan.

The National Cycling Plan 3.0

Be it more safety and security, faster links or digital services - the options for shaping the cycling of the future are diverse. With its guiding objectives, the National Cycling Plan 3.0 takes all relevant topics into account and identifies future key areas of action for promoting cycling in Germany. During the upcoming dialogue process, these guiding objectives will be discussed in the technical debates and fleshed out.

Guiding objective: Seamless cycling infrastructure in Germany

Infrastructure that encourages people to cycle is the decisive key for the cycling share in all regions. Cyclists are more and more strongly demanding it. With a safe and attractive infrastructure, with well-developed cycle tracks and junctions as well as parking infrastructure and sharing systems, we can unlock the comprehensive potential of cycling, reduce conflicts among road users and optimise the transport system as a whole.

Guiding objective: Vision Zero for cycling

Cycling in Germany should be safe for every age group from children to senior citizens. This applies to both objective safety as well as the personal feeling of safety. Everyday use of bicycles and personal fun when cycling are promoted, as is the role of bicycles as an everyday means of transport.

Guiding objective: Urban cargo transport by bicycle
Smart city logistics means a steadily increasing involvement of bicycles. (Cargo) bikes use their full potential in the supply chain and guarantee zero-emission delivery on the last mile.

Guiding objective: Germany becomes a country of cycling commuters

Commuters opt for bicycles as their transport mode of choice. Bicycles become the preferred mode of transport for both their daily trip to work as well as for work-related journeys while at work.

Guiding objective: Germany becomes a country of cyclists

Society’s and the expert community’s perception and knowledge of bicycles and cycling are consistently improved. In this way, innovative and economic potential is developed and systematically used and promoted.

Guiding objective: Cycling becomes intelligent, smart and interlinked
Digitalization boosts innovation - also true for cycling. Data allows precise infrastructure planning and traffic management, optimizes the connectivity between different mobility services and makes cycling faster, safer and more attractive.

Guiding objective: Cycling becomes ubiquitous in urban and rural areas
Attractive public spaces with suitable solutions for cycling in urban and rural areas increase the quality of life and amenity value and encourage citizens to actively exercise. This creates lively and attractive cities and regions.

Guiding objective: Cycling at the heart of modern mobility systems
Cycling is ambitiously promoted as a key element of sustainable mobility through streamlined processes and effective political support and planning. Society and the expert community are actively included in the process, resulting in the development of solutions that meet the requirements.
