Rotterdam and MassDot to Shape the Future of Urban Micromobility

Making urban mobility safer, smarter, and more sustainable. 

The City of Rotterdam (Netherlands) and the Massachusetts Department of Transportation (USA) are collaborating through the International Urban and Regional Cooperation – North America (IURC-NA) programme to improve ​​micromobility.

🚲 From Rotterdam’s cycling streets to Boston’s innovative approach: Rotterdam brings decades of experience managing one of Europe’s most advanced active mobility networks, while Massachusetts pilots innovative state-level regulations and digital tools to track and educate riders. Together, they are shaping smarter, safer, and more integrated urban mobility systems.

🌍 A transatlantic collaboration like no other: By combining Rotterdam’s hands-on municipal expertise with MassDOT’s regulatory innovation, both cities are tackling shared challenges—from vehicle identification and road safety to user behaviour and public awareness—offering lessons that can inspire cities worldwide.

This case study demonstrates how cities can learn from each other, combining hands-on municipal expertise with regulatory innovation to create safer and more sustainable mobility solutions.
