The European Commission's 2023 Communication "Proposing a European Declaration on Cycling" outlines a strategy to promote cycling as a sustainable and healthy form of transport while supporting the EU’s green transition goals. The initiative emphasizes cycling's role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions, improving air quality, enhancing physical and mental well-being, and fostering sustainable tourism. It also highlights the economic benefits cycling brings, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises.

The plan sets out key principles aimed at enhancing cycling infrastructure, increasing investments, improving road safety, and fostering a thriving European cycling industry. The document aligns with broader EU goals, including the European Green Deal, Sustainable and Smart Mobility Strategy, and Zero Pollution Action Plan. It serves as a strategic framework for EU and national policies to boost cycling as part of the green transition.
