Ride-A-Way™
2009 Winner - New York City, USA
Throughout 2008, the city continued to implement PlaNYC 2030, its comprehensive long-term sustainability vision.
 The city took 49 acres of road space, traffic lanes and parking spots away from cars and gave that space back to the public for bike lanes, pedestrian areas, and public plazas. Protected on street bike lanes were part of the 140 miles (255 kilometers) of bike lanes implemented. Bike ridership has increased by 35 percent over the past year.
Over 98,000 trees were planted, a select bus service was implemented, car free Sundays introduced. As part of its standard operations, the city’s Department of Transportion also recycles 40 percent of its asphalt. Although not successful, the city pushed for congestion charging, a first for a US city and now other cities are considering it.
