THE CARGO REVOLUTION BOROUGH CHARTER
London is getting into gear and leading the revolution
The Cargo Bike revolution has started.
From passionate councillors to pioneering businesses, trailblazers are leading the way in the transition away from polluting vans and towards fast, clean cargo bikes. But as well as leading the way, our early adopters are also shining a light on the stumbling blocks and barriers to mass take up. And helpfully, lots of them are within the power of local authorities to address.
The Cargo Revolution Borough Charter is an opportunity for Local Authorities to be part of the transition to a greener economy, and help make sure local businesses and residents have the best possible chance of making the switch to cargo bikes.
By joining the charter, Local Authorities are making a commitment to becoming cargo bike friendly boroughs, where everyone who wants to use a cargo bike is supported. We’ve worked with businesses, researchers, councillors and other stakeholders to identify five key areas where cargo bike accessibility in boroughs can be improved.
