ROME – After the two-month experimentation which involved about 1,300 citizens, the smartphone app “Roma runs by bike” is officially operational. The application, created by Roma Servizi per la Mobilità in collaboration with the Roma Tre University and Sara Assicurazioni, aims to be an optimal tool available to bicycle users. “We firmly believe in the marriage between sustainable mobility and technology – declared Stefano Brinchi, president and CEO of Roma Servizi per la Mobilità – The app we have created is a further example in this sense and represents another step towards the construction of a city. increasingly suitable for cyclists and pedestrians. We thank Sara Assicurazioni and the Roma Tre University for the fundamental support they have provided ”. The app allows you to monitor your movements also offering the calculation of the calories burned by pedaling and the carbon dioxide emissions saved by avoiding the use of motorized vehicles.
In addition, Rome runs by bike will allow users to be “rewarded” based on the distance traveled in the saddle through an accumulation of credits directly proportional to the kilometers pedaled, which can then be spent after being converted into discounts in the various shops participating in the initiative. Employees of companies that have signed the agreement with Roma Servizi per la Mobilità can instead receive benefits in the form of welfare (companies, through their respective mobility managers, and shops, can join by writing to [email protected]). “We are alongside Roma Servizi per la Mobanza and RomaTre to underline the importance of insurance protection for young road users – added Alberto Tosti, general manager of Sara Assicurazioni – The new needs of mobility have led to a rediscovery of the bicycle and our commitment is to protect the safety needs of these new forms of mobility “.
