City of Umeå
Network / organisation · Umeå, Sweden
Umeå has developed practical expertise in sustainable travel behaviour change through several projects, for example the Be Green Umeå project (2010-2015) and in cycling-oriented urban planning through its Five-Kilometre City strategy, adopted in 2011. Its year-round cycling work includes prioritised winter maintenance, digital snow-clearance information and cycling network planning. In BATS, Umeå tested e-bike loans, projected traffic signs and citizen-based winter maintenance monitoring, using feedback to improve maintenance practices.
