To do this, the FUB synthesizes the responses given and sends them back to Chartrà Vélo and other associations, “between March and February. “Chartrà Vélo then uses this feedback to” make proposals to Chartres Métropole during our meetings. For example, we proposed to lower the speed of cars to 30 km / h, in the city center of Chartres. This measure has been accepted and makes it possible to make cycling safer.
