Module 4: Experimenting with potential mobility solutions to promote active modes

This module explores how small-scale experiments can be a powerful tool in mobility planning to promote active modes like walking and cycling. Instead of jumping straight into large investments, participants will discover the strategic value of testing ideas first – learning what works, what doesn’t, and why. The module introduces the step-by-step manual for experimenting with active mobility measures, guiding through the different stages of a pilot planning process with key questions to reflect upon. Through practical case examples from cities, participants will see a variety of pilot approaches and equal number of challenges—from infrastructure trials to restricting car access and engaging citizens.

What will you learn?

👉 By the end of the module, participants will understand how to link small-scale testing to the broader planning process, how to plan each phase effectively, and even how to learn from unsuccessful pilots. This module is especially valuable for anyone considering or preparing to test active mobility solutions on a smaller scale.
