## CPI Definition &amp; Scope

Active and Micro Mobility in CPI's GLCF framework captures finance directed at non-motorized and light electric transport modes that reduce dependence on private cars. CPI tracks investment in cycling infrastructure, pedestrian networks, e-scooter and e-bike sharing systems, and urban redesign that prioritizes low-carbon mobility. While smaller in absolute investment volume than vehicle electrification, these modes are essential for urban emission reductions and represent growing climate finance flows, particularly in emerging market cities.

## Subsectors &amp; Examples

- **Cycling Infrastructure** — protected bike lanes, bike parking, cycle highways
- **Bike-sharing Systems** — station-based and dockless public bicycle programs
- **E-bike &amp; E-scooter** — shared electric micromobility fleets and infrastructure
- **Pedestrian Infrastructure** — car-free zones, widened sidewalks, pedestrian bridges
- **Transit Integration** — bike-transit hubs, last-mile connectivity solutions

## Mitigation &amp; Adaptation Classification

Active and micro mobility is classified as **mitigation** in CPI's framework. The primary benefit is emission avoidance through modal shift from private motorized vehicles to zero or near-zero emission transport modes. These investments also improve urban air quality and reduce traffic congestion, but the classification is driven by the emissions reduction pathway.

## LATAM Relevance

Latin American cities are global leaders in cycling infrastructure. Bogota's ciclovía (temporary car-free streets) and extensive bike lane network are internationally recognized models. Lima has expanded its cycling infrastructure significantly post-pandemic. Costa Rica's San Jose has invested in pedestrianization and bike-sharing. Medellin's integrated transport system combines metro, cable cars, and cycling for last-mile solutions. CPI tracks these as part of broader urban climate finance flows in the region.
