The Ministry of Transportation of Colombia has announced the implementation of the National Program for the Promotion of Bicycle Use (PFUB), an initiative aimed at encouraging the use of bicycles as a primary means of transportation throughout the country.
This program has three main objectives: increasing the number of bicycle trips, reducing the environmental impact of motor vehicle traffic, and improving urban mobility.
The decree establishing the PFUB was signed by President Gustavo Petro Urrego on February 5, 2025, coinciding with the celebration of Car-Free and Motorcycle-Free Day in cities like Bogotá and Montería.
After its signing, the decree will be sent to the Ministry of Health and Social Protection and the Administrative Department of the Presidency of the Republic to proceed with the necessary steps for its implementation.
Figures in Colombia
Currently, Colombia has over 1,400 km of cycling infrastructure, used daily by thousands of citizens. Bogotá leads with more than 630 km, while Montería has 54 km and has been committed for 14 years to promoting bicycle use through various initiatives.
The Environmental Affairs and Sustainable Development Group (GAADS) of the Ministry of Transportation is responsible for monitoring, planning, coordinating, and formulating projects that promote sustainable and healthy mobility in Colombia.
Finally, the implementation of the PFUB represents a significant step toward establishing a more sustainable and environmentally friendly mobility culture in the country.
