She explained that micromobility initiatives aim to enhance urban mobility, reduce traffic congestion in city centers, and improve environmental conditions. Similar to other global cities, Baku is implementing measures to reduce traffic density while ensuring the safety of cyclists, electric micro-vehicles, and other road users. So far, micromobility lanes have been established on 31 streets and avenues, with plans to extend the network to 100 km.

The session also included an interactive discussion with students about future improvements in Baku’s micromobility system, addressing their questions and suggestions.
