Following the transportation restrictions imposed during the COVID 19 pandemic, a study was undertaken to understand the current policy positions regarding temporary bicycle lanes & flexible pilots in the project cities; the political attitude towards agile bicycle interventions, & approaches by activists; & to identify the promising strategic ‘routes’ for action in Cape town, Nairobi & Kampala. MEIR undertook stakeholder consultations, transport data collection, developed indices for the proposed assessment matrix & developed a model to assess likely changes in mode share for the corridors considered in Kampala.
