Enabling a shift to less energy intensive modes of transport in urban environments supports decarbonisation of the transport sector, reduces air pollution and can enable better city living. This methodology applies to project activities that implement infrastructure in urban areas (such as new bicycle lanes, transport sharing programmes, bicycle parking) that support a shift to less energy intensive modes of transport such as mechanical bicycles, tricycles, e-bikes, or e-tricycles.
The small-scale methodology builds upon the CDM methodology AMS.III.BM. and has approved by Gold Standard to also include eligibility for new and/or the expansion of existing passenger transportation services based on tricycles and e-scooters. It is developed in association with Micromobility Research Partnership™.
This methodology applies to project activities that shift the mode of transport of urban passengers to mechanical bicycles, tricycles, e-bikes, e-scooters, or e-tricycles, by implementing related infrastructure in an urban area such as bicycle lanes, bicycle and e-scooter sharing programmes (through dock less bicycles or e-scooter sharing stations) and bicycle parking areas.
