About this good practice
The Active Mobility Check (AMC) is a marketing tool to promote a better environment for active mobility in municipalities. It combines different marketing techniques for awareness raising among stakeholders and creating a culture of walking and cycling in an urban community with an efficient, short and participatory planning process. All stages of the AMC are targeted towards a strong public perception.
Resources needed
The municipality commissions a specialist office for the AMC. Up to €25,000 of the total costs are funded by the State of Hessen. Workshops are included.
