Last June, the Smart Cities Mission of the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs launched India Cycles4Change Challenge to inspire and support cities to implement cycling-friendly initiatives.
The challenge was an attempt to nudge city administrations to work on three unique areas that would also promote cycling in the context of women’s mobility.
According to a report by Institute for Transportation and Development policy (ITDP), this can be achieved by “training programmes to empower more women to access and use cycles, pushing for infrastructural interventions to ensure road safety and personal security, and awareness campaigns to inspire more women to cycle.”
