Active Modes Committee

In the Active Modes Committee, various representatives of associations or experts in accessibility come together to discuss mobility, both for cyclists and pedestrians.

During these meetings, the participants have the opportunity to discuss the improvement of the development plans of the municipal representatives (reconstruction from facade to facade of the public space for streets, squares, new cycle paths,....). Other topics are discussed as well, such as awareness, education, bicycle policy at the municipal level in general.
