The 23 municipalities in the Rotterdam The Hague Metropolitan Region (MRDH) are working together to improve fast cycle routes between residential and business locations. Fast cycle routes are wide, open, asphalted cycle paths or cycle streets, where cyclists have as much priority as possible. The MRDH’s ambition is to improve 250 kilometres of cycle routes. The first five routes, with a length of 90 kilometres, will be constructed over the next three years. These routes will make it more attractive for commuters to go to work by bike instead of by car. They will contribute to the accessibility of the region, to a reduction of CO2 emissions and to a healthy lifestyle for users. Different municipalities are involved in each route. The MRDH is subsidising and facilitating the municipalities in the realisation of the routes. VINU provides project management for the MRDH and supports the municipalities in exploring preferred routes, preparing cooperation agreements and developing the plans.
