Intelligent traffic solutions underpin smooth transport

Traffic in the growing Helsinki will be planned together with land use. Land use will be developed in Helsinki in such a way that traffic can be arranged in a sustainable manner – economically, socially and ecologically. The aim is to increase the proportions of public transport, walking and cycling.

Goal: The proportion of public transport, walking and cycling as modes of transport will be increased

Almost 80 per cent of the trips in Helsinki are made on foot, by bike or by public transport. The COVID-19 pandemic increased especially the proportion of trips made on foot. A significant change also took place during the COVID-19 pandemic in the commuter traffic proportions, where the share of trips made by car increased clearly.
