If you are in the business of moving many people from A to B, you have to be pretty foolish to invest mainly in car infrastructure. Visual by NACTO (National Association of City Transportation Officials)

How many tickets does it take to take two bikes on the train from Glasgow to Newport ? 😄 Great to be invited by Transport for Wales to the Railway Industry Association Innovation Conference, see everything that is happening in rail, especially around MaaS and multi modal travel. Happy to meet again with Alt Labs, Lab by Transport For Wales, HQNFTs (Divya P., Janine Miles MSc.) and Doopedo (Philippe Mele) ! We’ll be coming back next year hopefully with a couple less tickets ! 🎟 🚲 Garance Locatelli

The Dutch have a saying: “Beter goed gejat dan slecht bedacht” (“Better stolen well than invented badly”). The Parisian suburb of Montreuil did exactly that; working with the Dutch Cycling Embassy and building the first completely continuous piece of bike infrastructure in Île-de-France.

Strathclyde Inspire Accelerator participants Mark Smith and Garance Locatelli shared their cycle navigation system - the MARKED : Wayfinding System - with Kaukab Stewart MSP, who visited the Inspire Hub following her motion in parliament last month which congratulated the company on its Scottish EDGE win.   This is how it went!

Our cities do not need driverless cars. They desperately need more carless drivers! (📹 in Nijmegen)

How does a simple bike rental result in fewer cars and more train passengers? 54% of OV-fiets users reveal they use the train more often because of its availability. 8% admit that, without it, they would drive a car door-to-door instead of using it as part of a bike–train trip.

What a month! 🎉  • Garance Locatelli and I had the chance to share our cycle navigation system with MSP Kaukab Stewart following her motion last month. Had a very insightful chat surrounding cycling and inclusivity.  • Proud to announce our acceptance in the latest STAC cohort! We're incredibly excited to join this cohort of companies who are at the forefront of driving innovation. (Filament STAC - Smart Things Accelerator Centre)  • Last but not least we received an Interface innovation voucher to work with the University of Strathclyde DMEM Department. Excited to work with PhD candidate Mia Shepherd and Dr Ross Brisco on product development.

Active Mobility: A Profitable Investment Case? 📈 A recent study found that a £100 million investment in active mobility interventions generated more than £1bn in health economic benefits over 20 years - a 10x return! 🏃 Per person, the associated costs were between £28–35 or £112 depending on the scope of the interventions, yielding £4,800 in physical-activity related benefits - a 43x to 171x return! 🌟 Active mobility isn't just healthy and good for the environment; it's a smart business decision. Let's debunk the myth that it's not a good investment case!🌱 📖 Full study accessible via https://lnkd.in/dax5Z6Yp #activemobility #impact #sustainability #investment
