Sustainable Travel & Road Safety Awareness
A new website was launched, and this was supplemented by a billboard campaign. A broad range of ambassadors were chosen to explain how electric bicycles have made a significant impact in their lives. This has been a very successful project with articles in both local and national media on this worthwhile project.
The Sustainable Travel & Road Safety Awareness section promotes sustainable and active travel through programmes and campaigns, as well as engaging with the relevant transport groups, such as the Cork Transport and Mobility Forum. In terms of road safety, the aim is to promote road safety particularly to school children and working with a wide range of stakeholders through the Cork Road Safety Working Together Group. wE-bike.ie As part of both European Mobility Week and Bike Week (19th – 27th September), Cork City Council, along with the Transport and Mobility Forum, launched a new electric bike awareness initiative, wE-bike.ie. This was the first promotional campaign in Ireland regarding the use of electric bicycles and was a collaboration of the local authorities, environmental groups, business, and the Cork Credit Unions. The aim was to promote electric bikes and provide information from electric bike users, from retailers and how to finance the purchase of electric bikes.
Cycling on the Green Cork City Council ran several sessions of Cycling on the Green as part of Bike Week (19th – 27th September), with 86 young people taking part in Togher, Blarney, Farranree and Bishopstown. Facilitated by Cork Community Bikes, the sessions focused on bike maintenance, road safety and cycling skills.
