Under the flag of 'smart cities', cities and municipalities look for innovative solutions in which (new) technologies, the Internet of Things (IoT) and the associated data streams offer the opportunity to strengthen contact with the business world, knowledge centers, civil society and citizens , to work more effectively and to optimize services and thus create added value effectively. The challenge is to collect, share, link and combine data that can be useful for achieving the policy objectives. WVI wants to support its local authorities in the development of

their 'smart city'. Many boards actively invest in sustainable and safe mobility and living environment, reduction Co 2 and specific climate measures in their municipality. Achieving climate-friendly, healthy and safe mobility for school-going children by promoting local bicycle use is one of the Quick Win campaigns that present themselves.

To stimulate this bicycle use among school-going children, tools are already being offered in the market, such as bicycle registration systems, in combination with incentive programs. The figures at municipalities where such tools are used show that they contribute in a spectacular way to the increase in the number of children who regularly go to school by bicycle (or on foot) and thus make a measurable contribution to a safer and healthier school environment (less cars at the school gate as a result [...]). This also has a positive effect on the physical and psychological health of school-going children

WVI wants to support its municipal partners in the choice between the various tools and programs offered by the market and, through its economies of scale, try to obtain optimum (price) conditions from market parties for its partners. WVI wants to be neutral with regard to this

all providers so that its municipal partners can make their own choice in accordance with their priorities or specific policy visions in this regard.
