Cost-Benefit Analysis for stimulating bicycle use among firms in San Isidro
San Isidro is the central business district (CBD) of Lima, Peru. Hence, lots of large firms and ministries are housed in this district. As a result, there is a concentration of economic activity and associated movements, which are predominantly made by motorized vehicles. In order to mitigate the traffic intensity, the municipality of San Isidro tries to activate the firms to encourage and stimulate daily bicycle use among their employees.
A tool to determine benefits
Decisio has, in collaboration with the Dutch Embassy in Lima, developed an user-friendly tool. The tool can be used to calculate the financial benefits for firms from having higher bicycle use among employees. The benefits are calculated per individual firm and on the level of the employees, firm, and finally the society.
