Active Travel Strategy

Active Travel encompasses modes of transportation powered by physical activity such as walking, wheeling, and cycling. These represent a sustainable alternative to cars.

Our vision is to develop a transport network featuring high-quality Active Travel infrastructure. We aim to connect people with destinations and activities through routes that are safe, direct, attractive, and coherent, enhancing overall mobility and accessibility.

In an era of increased scrutiny on public expenditure, there is a growing need to achieve exceptional value for money. Within the transport sector, investments in walking and cycling infrastructure present cost-effective solutions that yield huge benefits for local communities. These initiatives not only promote public health and environmental sustainability but also contribute to building a more vibrant future for our children.

By prioritising Active Travel, we're creating a foundation for healthier, more connected communities. This approach not only addresses current transportation needs but also paves the way for a more active, sustainable future that will benefit generations to come.
