Amendments to the Bicycle Purchase Incentive Scheme to make it socially targeted
Amendments to the Bicycle Purchase Incentive Scheme to make it socially targeted were announced today, after the Cabinet meeting, by the Minister of Transport, Communications and Works, Yannis Karousos.
In a statement, Karousosos said that "today before the Council of Ministers there was an evaluation of the Bicycle Purchase Incentive Plan that we had implemented for the first time in 2021 with considerable success."
"It was a plan that exceeded all expectations since within a few hours about 8000 applications had been received," he added.
He said that after the evaluation that has been done "with a budget of 200 thousand euros, a plan will be prepared with some modifications so that the new plan will have a social focus, targeting vulnerable groups and those who really need to buy a bicycle and use it."
"Therefore, within the next month the necessary changes and amendments to the plan will be prepared, in cooperation with the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of State for Social Welfare, with the aim of approving the plan and before the end of June announcing it," the Transport Minister said.
Karousos said that Cyprus for the first time has an action plan to boost the use of bicycles, which has been approved by the Council of Ministers in 2021, includes 17 actions of which 14 have been launched quite successfully.
He thanked all those involved in the preparation of these plans and assured them that he would be by their side to support cycling and infrastructure which is in the budgets with several millions for very many projects in relation to cycle paths.
