Active transport, previously overshadowed due to the rapid increase in motorization, regained attention with the introduction of the National Urban Transport Policy in 2006. The COVID-19 pandemic has notably shifted public perception toward walking and biking, prompting many decision-makers to reconsider the importance of active transport. However, current city transportation studies are primarily motorization-centric, contributing to the decline in active transport usage in urban areas. It’s regrettable that city officials prioritize maximizing vehicle kilometers, neglecting the mobility needs of the majority of city residents. The prevailing approach to planning active transport infrastructure is biased toward motorized infrastructure and fails to adequately consider the behavior of active transport users. This paper emphasizes the necessity of revisiting the current methodology for creating City Mobility Plans (CMPs), focusing on a scientifically based assessment of active transport demand and the associated infrastructure to foster sustainable urban mobility.
