Description
Each year in September, the seaside village of Zandvoort hosts the world for the Dutch Grand Prix. And while a Formula One race is an unlikely place for an sustainable travel revolution, the event’s 110,000 attendees have been prohibited from arriving by car. Instead, organizers have implemented an integrated mobility plan, which has resulted in a 98% of ticket holders arriving by foot, bicycle, or public transport. This plan is outlined in the new 16-minute film, “Car-Free Grand Prix: How the Dutch Bike to Track”. In addition to the world premiere of this movie at Autonomy, the Dutch Cycling Embassy will moderate a panel discussion to discuss the potential of replicating this model for other mass sporting events—such as the Olympics and World Cup.
