Expertise
Through BATS, the City of Porvoo has gained practical experience in piloting year-round active mobility interventions, including coordinated winter maintenance and citizen feedback collection. The city also tested an immersive 3D cycling simulation to support public participation in evaluating proposed cycling routes and bridge connections. Its documented experience focuses on local implementation, stakeholder engagement and evaluating the practical applicability of these approaches.
The City of Porvoo focuses on carbon neutrality by 2030 and safe, inclusive year-round active and sustainable mobility. Porvoo participates in international and regional initiatives (such as the BATS project for year-round active mobility) to address the challenges of ice and snow during Finnish winters. Porvoo is actively improving winter servicing on walking and cycling paths, utilizing digital tools, 3D routing models, and participatory methods, where residents help monitor and report path conditions.
