Problem: During the pandemic, Iloilo residents had difficulty using public transportation due to the health risk.
The Iloilo City Government established networks of safe and eco-friendly bike lanes to encourage Iloilo residents to bike instead of using cars.
Guideline 1: Partner with local companies and residents
Iloilo officials partnered with local companies and residents, such as local artists, when creating and upgrading the bike lanes.
Guideline 2: Strengthen your environmental impact
When designing the bike lanes, Iloilo officials incorporated trees and other natural elements to amplify their good impact on the environment.
Guideline 3: Educate residents on the importance of the program
To help establish the importance of bike lanes, officials would visit schools and talk to the young students to share their project, encourage them to bike in the future, and already establish a sense of respect for the bike lanes.
