Abstract
Various means of transport have different positive and negative impacts on the economy, public health and the environment. That is why it is useful to analyse possibilities of transport policy tools to influence transport behaviour and the modal split.
Even if this topic is widely discussed on the theoretical and practical level in the Western Europe and the USA, there is still an information and usage gap, especially regarding cycling, in the Czech Republic. A wide range of economic tools to regulate the structure and output of the transport can be applied to cycling as well.
These tools can be used on the supply side (e.g. as subsidies or various kinds of taxes and fees) and on the demand side too (again like subsidies, various types of insurance etc.). They can be also neutral to the public funds (voluntary agreements, specific kinds of insurance).
