PARALLEL WORKSHOPS #1:

Addressing congestion: The politics of choosing walking and cycling solutions

This session starts with a panel of politicians and explores their experiences to

address walking and cycling as transport modes. We then break into groups to

share practical ideas from cities and how the project results can help decision

makers and the public understand the advantages and potential of walking and

cycling measures.

• Panel Q&A with decision makers from Bologna (Italy), Dublin (Ireland),

Jerusalem (Israel), Niš (Serbia) and Valencia (Spain)

• Interactive discussion in groups

• Wrap up and conclusion, Adam Bodor, European Cyclists’ Federation

Moderator: Bronwen Thornton, Walk21

TRACE tools: Learning from doing, best practices from and for campaigning

Hands-on workshop: TRACE developed tracking tools that enable behaviour

change. The practitioners will explain what and how they organised their

campaigns. You will share experiences and opinions about tracking behaviour and

data collection in three thematic working groups:

• Incentives and rewarding apps

• Human-centred campaigns

• Connecting data

Moderator: Martin Kracheel, LuxMobility & Jeroen Blom, IJsberg Consultants

Where? Cafeteria

What traffic planners need to know about modelling

The workshop elaborates default settings in modelling software, communicating

the results to decision makers and what role modelling results play or should play

in the decision-making process.

FLOW tools: how to make them work for your city

This session will discuss how to transfer the concept behind the FLOW tools, ice

multi-modal assessments and focus on the barriers and drivers for doing this

within different jurisdictions. We will look particularly at lessons learned,

successes and ideas for action.

• Pedestrian safety and less congestion: can we have it both ways?,

Pedro Homem de Gouveia, City of Lisbon

• How to do it on macro level? Experiences from Budapest,
