The latest Route Development Status Report highlights the progress made in the last 3 years, both in terms of route development (+10,000 km since 2021!) and accuracy of data available in the EuroVelo GIS database.

European Certification Standard
September 10, 2019
The European Certification Standard (ECS) is a unique and comprehensive methodology designed by ECF to assess the quality of cycle routes. It can be used to survey and assess the quality of national/regional routes, and to certify EuroVelo routes if the criteria are met. It can help set up national standards where they do not exist and harmonise the different regulations in the European states.
Organisation
There are three types of bodies involved in the organisation of EuroVelo.
ECF
The European Cyclists’ Federation (ECF), and more specifically the EuroVelo Team and the EuroVelo Council, ensure the quality and coordinate the management of the EuroVelo network at the European level.
National EuroVelo Coordination Centres (NECCs)
NECCs are responsible for the implementation, coordination, quality assurance and communication of EuroVelo in the respective countries, and they contribute to the governance and the overall goals of EuroVelo and ECF.
Route Partnerships
EuroVelo Route Partnerships support the development of a specific route, complementing the work of ECF and NECCs. EuroVelo Route Partnerships generally involve a variety of actors and can be related to ongoing EU-funded projects to develop a route or be separate, ad hoc agreements.
