In this paper, author provide an
overview of the benefits and opportunities of active
mobility for accessibility and climate and connect these
elements to broader health and equity issues. We then
briefly summarize effective active mobility infrastructure
options and explore the ways that finance and investment in
active mobility can be and has been achieved to increase or
sustain significant rates of walking and cycling globally,
particularly in developing countries. We examine finance
assessment along: (i) local finance and policies that
encourage investment in cycling and walking; (ii) national
level finance initiatives; (iii) international and
multilateral finance; and (iv) private sector funding
sources that may support bicycle use and walking.
