Promoting Walking and Cycling: A Toolkit of Policy Options

9 April 2025

Promoting Walking and Cycling: A Toolkit of Policy Options. This new guidance will be launched by WHO during a Global webinar during Road Safety Week. This new guidance outlines evidence-based policy actions to promote safe, inclusive, and accessible environments for more safe walking and cycling. It offers a practical roadmap across sectors—from transport to health to environment—with seven key policy action areas and real-world case studies.

The webinar will feature presentation of the new guidance, making the case for safe walking and cycling as forces for health, sustainable transport, equity, and climate resilience; a panel discussion sharing insights from global experts; and national and local spotlights showcasing how smart policy can unlock co-benefits across health, mobility, environment, and economy.
