The Bicycle Partnership Program (BPP) assists local authorities, civil society organisations (CSOs) and other partners in creating or improving a local process making it possible to use a bicycle as a means of transportation. The BPP aims at promoting cycling, based on cycling inclusive planning, which can make a significant contribution to fighting poverty, improving urban mass mobility at low cost and traffic safety in a sustainable environment and more generally, the quality of life. The Bicycle Partnership Program is executed by I-CE, a Dutch foundation, which operates in developing countries as an organization contributing to the development of these emerging countries through specific programs. The Bicycle Partnership Program 2007-2010 is the successor of the LOCOMOTIVES program.
