– and specifically a tool called Social Cost Benefit Analysis, or SCBA – to the Bike Plan of San Donato Milanese, a 30.000 town just outside Milan which is the headquarter of ENI, BMW and many other large industries.
The target of their Bike Plan is to get from current 3-5% modal share of cycling up to 15% by 2030.
Through bikenomics, we compared two different scenarios: the “business-as-usual” scenario (BAU) – in which cycling is not promoted and people keep using mainly cars and public transport as usual – and the “intervention” scenario, in which policy-makers act according to the bike-plan and the 15% target is achieved.
