The document discusses strategies for promoting bicycling and non-motorized transportation (NMT) in Cape Town, South Africa. It notes that apartheid spatial planning created poverty and inadequate public transportation. The goals are to increase bicycling and walking through creating a safe network of paths, and to integrate NMT with other transportation projects and planning. Challenges include safety, weather, funding, and competing uses of road space. Suggestions include clear vision, community participation, partnerships, and sustainable funding. Achievements so far include the longest continuous cycle lane in Africa integrated with bus rapid transit routes.

1. Transforming Transportation Bicycling: How do we achieve greater mode share. Presented by : Brett Herron Member of Mayoral Committee for Transport CAPE TOWN, SOUTH AFRICA

3. Inadequate Public Transport Metrorail is the backbone of public transport but it is dysfunctional, unreliable, and under-capacitated

7. Objective: “ To promote a sustainable transport network by encouraging walking, cycling and the use of public transport and promoting the principles of universal access in the design and construction of transport infrastructure”

8. Vision: “ Cape Town will be a city where all people feel safe and secure to walk and cycle, NMT is part of the transport system, public space is shared between all users (NMT, special needs people and motorised users) and everyone has access to urban opportunities and mobility.”
