Biggest Gap

Health → Cycling

Cycling share at just 4% of trips, compounded by only 45% of roads have paved footpaths

Recommendation

Building protected cycle networks + bike-share systems could shift trips from private vehicles

Action Guide

Everyone

Actions anyone can take to improve transport quality of life

Try bike-sharing

Use your city's public bike-share or e-scooter system for short trips. Every ride logged strengthens the case for more infrastructure.

Find bikes near you

Map walking paths

Contribute to OpenStreetMap by mapping footpaths, crosswalks, and pedestrian signals in your neighbourhood. Better maps lead to better walking directions.

Open map editor

Report infrastructure issues

Report broken footpaths, missing streetlights, or blocked cycle lanes to your municipal corporation. Documented complaints drive maintenance budgets.

File a complaint

Active Citizen

Advocacy and participation in urban transport decisions

Attend ward meetings

Municipal ward committees discuss local transport budgets and projects. Your presence ensures walking and cycling get attention alongside motor vehicle priorities.

Join a cycling advocacy group

Connect with local cycling communities who organize rides, push for infrastructure, and represent cyclist interests in policy discussions.

Find local groups

Participate in public consultations

City Master Plans, Comprehensive Mobility Plans, and Smart City proposals have public comment periods. Advocate for pedestrian and cyclist safety measures.

Corporate

Actions for employers and organisations to support sustainable commuting

Offer cycle-to-work benefits

Provide cycle parking, shower facilities, and purchase subsidies. Companies with cycling benefits see reduced absenteeism and improved employee wellbeing.

Subsidise transit passes

Offer metro/bus pass subsidies as part of employee benefits. This shifts commute mode share and reduces parking demand at your facility.

Track commute sustainability

Use Altmo to measure your organisation's commute mode share, carbon footprint, and active transport participation rates.

Urban Planner

Data-driven actions for transport planners and policymakers

Publish open transport data

Release bus routes as GTFS, share traffic count data, and publish accident locations. Open data enables evidence-based advocacy and academic research.

MobilityData catalogue

Conduct pedestrian safety audits

Systematic walkability audits identify missing footpaths, dangerous crossings, and accessibility barriers. The iRAP Star Rating methodology provides a standardised framework.

iRAP methodology

Design protected cycle infrastructure

Physically separated cycle tracks (not painted lanes) are proven to increase cycling mode share. Refer to the Indian Road Congress IRC SP-110 guidelines.

Improve transit accessibility data

Map transit stop accessibility features (ramps, tactile paths, shelters) to enable inclusive route planning for persons with disabilities.
