Tyrol invests 7 million euros in safe bike paths for everyone!

In Tyrol, a lot is happening in terms of cycling. Around 50% of all everyday paths in the region are shorter than 3 kilometers - a perfect terrain for cyclists who want to leave the car for a variety of reasons. The state of Tyrol has recognized that there is a need for action here and actively promotes the expansion of a safe and well -networked cycle path network. In 2025, an impressive 7 million euros are planned to further improve the wheel infrastructure and increase the enjoyment of cycling.

The planned measures are diverse and extend over various districts. Among other things, an underpass is being built on the StubaiTalweg in the Innsbruck-Land district. The completion of the Stubai Valley Cycle Path in the Fulpmes Stefanbrücke section also takes on more concrete forms. In addition, the new construction of the Innbrücke in Roppen and the paved connection along the Via Claudia Augusta are important steps on the way to a better cycle path network. These infrastructure measures not only contribute to the safety of the cyclists, but also to promote health, climate protection and tourism in the region, such as meindezirk.at reports.

a holistic approach for mobility

The bike strategy 2030 sets ambitious goals. It pursues the increase in cycling in Tyrol, improving traffic safety for cyclists and positioning as a leading bike country in the Alps. This strategy is not only important locally, but also affects the overall turnaround in a sustainable transport system, in the sense of the overarching mobility transition, which is also being pursued in other cities such as Heidelberg. There, for example, the bike strategy 2030 will be part of the new traffic development plan 2035, which focuses on the modernization of existing bicycle traffic concepts, so dieheidelberger.de.

The Tyrolean cycling network is already very popular and currently comprises 1,099 kilometers. Since the start of the Tyrolean bike offensive, impressive 268 kilometers have been rebuilt or renovated. In this context, municipalities and tourism associations have already invested 81.3 million euros in the cycling infrastructure, with the state of Tyrol supporting these efforts with 48.8 million euros by the end of 2024. These financial means are a clear announcement for the future and show that the region is willing to invest in sustainable mobility.
