CHAPTER 13: THE DUTCH BICYCLE MASTER PLAN 1990-1996. FROM THE GREENING OF URBAN TRANSPORT, EDITION 2.

In its efforts to secure a 'sustainable society', in 1990 the Dutch government expressed clear views on environmental policy, land use and city planning policy, and transport policy. The policy on bicycles can play an important role in the transport policy, it is strongly influenced by the land use and city planning policy and can support the environmental policy. A project group was therefore established at the Ministry of Transport in order to further detail the bicycle policy in a Bicycle Master Plan policy paper and to put the plans into action. The principal part of this contribution concerns the five spearheads of the Bicycle Master Plan. Each spearhead is placed in a broader context and is the subject of qualitative discussion. A general view of the effectiveness of the bicycle transport policy and a look towards the future conclude this chapter.
