“Share the Road”, a UNEP initiative developed in partnership with the FIA Foundation for the Automobile and Society, brings together environmental and safety agendas in the context of urban transport in the developing world. In developing countries, the majority of people are Non Motorised Transport (NMT) Users, and are disadvantaged on road systems designed with motor vehicles in mind. The overall goal of Share the Road is to catalyse policies in governments and donor agencies for systematic investments in walking and cycling road infrastructure, linked with public transport systems. The three pillars of the Share the Road programme are environment, safety and accessibility. Investing in road infrastructure for walking and cycling generates massive benefits for all three of these fundamental concerns, as it reduces air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions, protects vulnerable road users from high-speed motor traffic, and increases affordable access to vital services and employment.
