This call aims to improve road safety for pedestrians, cyclists, e-cyclists, and users of micromobility devices by addressing the challenges posed by the emergence of electrically assisted small vehicles. Projects should provide an in-depth analysis of safety associated with micromobility modes, develop mitigating solutions for adverse impacts, assess the influence of infrastructure on safety, and develop guidelines for authorities on reporting crashes and incorporating micromobility in Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans (SUMPs). Pilot tests should be conducted in at least two real-life urban environments to test new infrastructure designs, smart technologies, and safety requisites.
Opening Date: 16 September 2025
Deadline: 13 January 2026

This funding opportunity represents a pre-agreed draft that has not yet been officially approved by the European Commission. The final, approved version is expected to be published in the first quarter of 2025. This draft is provided for informational purposes and may be used to preliminarily form consortia and develop project ideas, but it is offered without any guarantees or warranties.
Expected Outcome
Projects are expected to improve road safety for vulnerable users, provide extensive analysis of safety needs for micromobility modes, increase the use of active and micromobility modes, develop standardization guidelines for reporting crashes, and produce guidelines for incorporating micromobility in SUMPs.
Scope
The call focuses on enhancing the safety of vulnerable road users in the context of increasing use of micromobility modes. Proposals should collect exposure data, analyze safety needs, quantify the impact of infrastructure design, assess the effectiveness of V2X technologies, and identify best practices in vehicle design. Pilot tests should explore new geometric designs, smart technologies, and road safety requisites.
