Transport and mobility planning: support for Rome Capital’s Biciplan

Objectives of the assignment

Roma Servizi per la Mobilità has entrusted us with technical support for the drafting of Rome Capital’s Biciplan, a strategic tool for the development of cycling mobility. L’obiettivo era garantire coerenza con il SUMP della Città Metropolitana e sviluppare strumenti operativi utili alla definizione della rete ciclabile metropolitana. It was also necessary to provide clear, up-to-date outputs based on real data.

Data collection and analysis of the cycle network

Activities included defining the plan’s vision, verifying consistency with higher-level planning, and mapping existing and planned networks. In addition, a GIS representation of cycle stations and mini hubs currently being implemented has been produced. The analysis of cycling demand was conducted using data from STRAVA and Roma Corre in Bici, in order to accurately describe the mode, intensity and duration of journeys.

Hierarchy and development scenarios

The hierarchy and prioritisation of the cycle network has been defined, with scenarios for gradual implementation over time. In addition, a parametric estimate of the costs of the interventions was developed to support operational decisions and economic planning. This approach has made it possible to build a clear, scalable framework based on verifiable technical criteria.

Communication and active mobility

At the same time, support was provided for the production of informational material dedicated to communication campaigns on active and sustainable mobility. The activities helped to reinforce the perception of the road as a shared and safe space, as well as encouraging users to adopt more sustainable behaviours.

Results and added value

The assignment enabled Roma Capitale to develop an updated, coherent plan based on objective data. Furthermore, GO-Mobility’s technical and methodological contribution ensured a multidisciplinary and innovative approach to cycle planning. The Biciplan is therefore a solid tool for guiding active mobility policies and supporting urban sustainability strategies.
