Prague, Czech Republic. In the past period 2014-2020, cities and regions across Czechia built cycle paths and other infrastructure for cyclists in the total amount of at least 126 million EUR. Projects that have used funding from the regional and state budgets, as well as funding through European funds, are included.Proposals for European funds for the next period count on an even higher amount of 137 million EUR. An amount of 23 million is reserved in the National Recovery Plan, with another 114 million EUR provided for in the current draft of the Integrated Regional Operational Programme (IROP).

Total regions (2015-2019) | 40.4 mil EUR (1 055 mil. CZK) |

Safe trails for pedestrians and cyclists are being built mainly thanks to support from European funds. Thanks to this financial support, new cycle paths and protected paths for cyclists were created. There are now 4,000 kilometers of them in the Czech Republic.
Our tasks:
We monitor the intents of municipalities or regions to build infrastructure for cyclists that requires higher costs. It is necessary to set correctly the conditions for IROP for the new programme period 2021-2027, as well as to coordinate the conditions with support coming from the State Fund for Transport Infrastructure.
