According to data compiled for the first time by the Central Statistical Bureau (CSB), the total length of micromobility infrastructure¹ in Latvian municipalities amounted to 1 194.5 km in 2025. Among municipalities, the greatest total length of micromobility infrastructure was in the Riga State City municipality – 170.4 km, in the Ventspils State City municipality – 73.6 km, and in the Jūrmala State City municipality – 68.7 km.
European Mobility Week, held from 16 to 22 September, aims to promote sustainable, safe, and environmentally friendly mobility (travel) patterns. Harmonized data on micromobility infrastructure enable the assessment of conditions across Latvia’s regions, support infrastructure development and investment planning, and facilitate monitoring of the implementation of sustainable mobility policies.
Combined pedestrian and bicycle paths accounted for 742.2 km (62.1 %) of the total micromobility infrastructure length, while 281.1 km (23.5 %) of pedestrian and bicycle paths were divided into separate facilities for pedestrians and cyclists or e-scooter users. The remaining 171.2 km, or 14.3 % of the total micromobility infrastructure, comprised bicycle lanes, bicycle paths, advisory cycle lanes, and other micromobility infrastructure.
Following the municipalities of Riga, Ventspils, and Jūrmala, the next largest total length of micromobility infrastructure was recorded in Ogre municipality (59.7 km), Liepāja State City (58.2 km), and Valmiera municipality (52.4 km).
In 2024, 53.2 km of bicycle lanes and 32.6 km of bicycle paths were recorded in Riga, comprising a total of 85.8 km or 74.4% of the total length of these two infrastructure types in Latvia. The total length of bicycle lanes and bicycle paths in Latvia was 115.4 km. Bicycle lanes accounted for 57.6 km, while bicycle paths accounted for 57.8 km.
In 2026, as part of the Eurostat project Development of New Transport Statistics, the Central Statistical Bureau (CSB) conducted its first comprehensive survey of municipalities on micromobility infrastructure, covering all 42 municipalities in Latvia.
At the same time, as part of the project, the Central Statistical Bureau (CSB) is continuing its survey on the Mobility of Latvian population in 2026. The survey is being conducted from June 1 to November 30 and aims to collect information on residents’ mobility (travel) patterns and trends in order to analyse sustainable mobility in Latvia.
