LET’S PROMOTE SUSTAINABLE MOBILITY

Barcelona is working hard to promote sustainable, healthy mobility. Today, the city is already characterised by a very favourable modal distribution, with 85% of internal mobility undertaken on foot, by public transport or by bicycle. However, the external factors of motorised mobility are still very negative (pollution, noise, accidents, occupation of space, climate emergency). The transformation of public spaces being undertaken clearly prioritise active mobility and connections with public transport, with the aim of promoting this sustainable mobility still further. 

Work is also being carried out to achieve a city where people can cycle everywhere, thanks to the construction of new bicycle lanes and traffic-calming measures on 75% of the city's streets. For intercity connections, large intermodal railway nodes are being developed at La Sagrera and Sants.


 

ACTIONS

FOSTERING SUSTAINABLE MOBILITY

La Sagrera

  • Intermodal node

    The new La Sagrera is creating a large intermodal node for interchanges between Rodalies [local commuter], regional and high-speed trains, the metro, inter-city buses, bicycles, taxis and private vehicles.

Sants Station

  • Traffic-calmed environments

    The transformation of public spaces in the station’s surroundings provides for more greenery and pedestrian spaces and the elimination of ground-level private motorised traffic.

Bicycle-lane network

  • Continuous growth

    32.6 km of new bike lanes will be created between 2021 and 2023 and 11.7 km of the current network improved.
