What do we see?
In Flanders, at least 66% of distances travelled were covered by car in 2020. The train comes second, with a share of at least 9%. Since the emergence of electric bikes, their share has risen to at least 1% by 2020.
What’s the aim?
In a circular economy, we want to fill mobility needs with as little consumption of materials as possible. This implies a move towards (much) more use of shared and active forms of mobility. The Flemish Energy and Climate Plan 2021-2030 sets a target of a share of sustainable travel modes of at least 40% by 2030. The figures shown express the shares differently in person-kilometres, but illustrate that the above target is still a long way off.
