Bogor, known as one of the most traffic-congested cities in Indonesia, put ecomobile transportation as its number one low emission development priority.

The Walkability Campaign includes a plan to build pedestrian paths complete with bicycle lanes along the city’s main roads, and green areas including urban parks and trees along road medians. These will be integrated with public transport stations and other public areas to facilitate mobility. The pedestrian path is expected to stretch up to 22.5 km with a target of completion by 2020. In addition to its environmental benefits, the Walkability Campaign is expected to contribute to reducing injuries and deaths due to traffic-related accidents involving both residents and tourists. The plan also incorporates the needs of people with disabilities and older people.

The first bike lane as well as the second stage of a pedestrian lane in Bogor City were successfully launched on 22 December 2013 as part of the Walkability Campaign. The project is led by the Bogor Pedestrian Coalition cooperating with the GIZ ‘Sustainable Urban Transport Improvement Project’ (SUTIP) and with support of ICLEI South East Asia.

The overall planning of the pedestrian lane consists of nine stages covering around 25 kilometers of main roads in the city. The Walkability Campaign is strongly supported by the City’s Mayor and aims at promoting ecomobile forms of transport, especially for short distance trips within the city, to decrease GHG emissions.
