PositiveImpact The A1 Bicycle and Micro-Mobility Promotion Initiative could lead to a significant enhancement of urban mobility in Switzerland, promoting a culture of cycling and sustainable transport. It may generate healthier lifestyles among future generations, lower rates of road congestion, decreased CO2 emissions from reduced motor vehicle use, and an overall improvement in the quality of life in urban areas. The investment in cycling infrastructure could foster economic development by creating jobs in bike maintenance and urban planning.

NegativeImpact However, this initiative may lead to a neglect of necessary road upgrades, allowing congestion to grow in the short-term, which may deter potential users due to safety concerns for cyclists on busy roads. Additionally, if not executed properly, it could lead to conflicts between cyclists and motorists, increasing accident rates. The focus on non-motorized transport alone might not sufficiently address the urgent issues of congestion affecting the worker class, who are more reliant on motorized transport.
