Puglia sustainable mobility and bike-sharing expansion

Overview

The STEP – Puglia Imperiale Experience Pass project has officially launched its electric bike-sharing service across 13 municipalities, including Andria, Barletta, Bisceglie, Canosa di Puglia, Corato, Margherita di Savoia, Minervino Murge, Ruvo di Puglia, San Ferdinando di Puglia, Spinazzola, Terlizzi, Trani, and Trinitapoli. Funded by the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport and promoted by the Patto Territoriale per l'Occupazione Nord Barese/Ofantino, the initiative aims to connect coastal areas to the Murgia hinterland.

The fleet includes 214 electric vehicles: 200 pedal-assist bicycles (85 e-city bikes and 115 electric mountain bikes), 10 microcars, and 4 golf carts. The network utilizes a hybrid infrastructure of 20 fixed stations and over 27 virtual stations. Recent expansions include the installation of an EVO-BIKE station in San Ferdinando di Puglia, providing 10 free pedal-assist bicycles, and the activation of two stations in Trani at piazza Plebiscito and piazza Marinai d’Italia, offering 20 electric bicycles to connect the city center, port, and seafront.

Users manage the service through the STEP Puglia Imperiale app, which facilitates real-time tracking, reservations, and multimodal trip planning integrating bicycles with public transport and taxis. The platform also provides information on local itineraries and tourism.

Parallel to these developments, the Ciclovia dell’Acquedotto Pugliese—a route of over 200 kilometers from Spinazzola to Grottaglie—is entering a critical phase. Local coordination groups are advocating for a new governance model to manage the infrastructure and drive economic development in inland areas.
