Bicycle shelters at Saint-Jorioz secondary school, Haute-Savoie
Committed to sustainable transport, Jean Monnet Secondary School in Saint-Jorioz, Haute-Savoie, recently opened a new cycle park. The facility comprisescycle shelters and bike racks designed and manufactured by Altinnova.
This infrastructure encourages pupils and staff to use bicycles and scooters for their daily journeys. Furthermore, through the installation of our bespoke ALTAO® Opencycle shelters and ALTAO® Parco cycle racks, Altinnova has demonstrated its expertise in the development of cycle parking facilities.
Parking for bicycles and scooters is now more convenient, thereby strengthening the region’s environmental initiative.
Promoting active travel in secondary schools in partnership with Altinnova
These facilities meet the growing demand for cycle shelters and secure parking for pupils and staff. The project at Jean Monnet Secondary School reflects Altinnova’s commitment to sustainable mobility. For this project, two key facilities have been installed:
- ALTAO® Open cycle shelter: A bespoke open-plan structure that offers protection from the elements whilst allowing for natural surveillance.
- ALTAO® Parco parking racks: Versatile racks for securely securing bikes and scooters.
The regional context of sustainable transport
Haute-Savoie has introduced an ambitious sustainable transport policy to encourage the use of environmentally friendly modes of transport. That is why the installation of facilities such as these cycle shelters and bike racks at Jean Monnet Secondary School helps to promote active travel. It also helps to reduce CO₂ emissions.
The ALTAO® Open cycle shelter: open and durable protection
The ALTAO® Opencycle shelter, custom-designed by Altinnova, is a solution that combines practicality and durability. What’s more, its open structure protects bicycles from the elements whilst ensuring natural visibility. In conclusion, this cycle shelter is particularly well-suited to schools such as Jean Monnet Secondary School, where it keeps pupils’ bicycles safe.
Benefits:
- Easy to install and adaptable to different environments.
- Securing bicycles and scooters.
- We can customise our shelters to match your colours and branding!
ALTAO® Parco bike racks: versatile bike parking
ALTAO® Parco cycle racks, which can be installed both indoors and outdoors, stand out for their unique design. Indeed, these racks lend a distinctive character to your cycle infrastructure projects. What’s more, they provide excellent visual organisation of cycle parking spaces. To achieve this, they are made from thick sheet metal cut into flat panels.
Furthermore, theALTAO® Parco bike racks offer a flexible solution for bike parking. They allow both the frames and the wheels to be secured, thereby ensuring optimum protection against theft. In addition, scooter racks have also been installed.
Encouraging the use of bicycles in schools
The installation of these cycle shelters and parking racks is already having a visible impact on the behaviour of pupils and staff at Jean Monnet Secondary School. This initiative is now helping to reduce CO₂ emissions and ease traffic congestion around the school, whilst encouraging the use of bicycles and scooters
This project could therefore inspire other schools to adopt active mobility solutions. Indeed, similar initiatives can be found in France by consulting the national ‘Vélo et Territoires’ network.
Sustainable infrastructure for the future
The bespoke ALTAO® Open cycle shelters and ALTAO® Parco cycle racks at Jean Monnet Secondary School are an excellent example of promoting sustainable transport in schools. In conclusion, these facilities enable pupils to park their bikes safely. Altinnova is therefore working alongside the Haute-Savoie department to promote environmentally friendly modes of transport.
The cycle sheds and bike racks fromthe “designer and manufacturer of a more cycle-friendly world” are robust facilities built to last. These solutions can also be rolled out in other educational establishments (nursery schools, primary schools, lower secondary schools, upper secondary schools and higher education institutions). Indeed, they are suitable for all local authorities seeking to promote sustainable mobility.
This project, which is in line with Haute-Savoie’s environmental objectives, can serve as a model for other local authorities. To find out more about Altinnova’s bespoke solutions, contact us today!
