What is Active Travel?
Active Travel is travelling with a purpose, using your own energy. Examples of active travel include walking, cycling, wheeling and using a non-motorised scooter to make everyday journeys for example to work, school or the shops.
Benefits of Active Travel
The completion of Active Travel Projects supports more people to walk and cycle for everyday short journeys, improving health, creating safer communities and reducing environmental impacts.
Active travel helps rejuvenate our towns and villages and make them safer places to live in and work in.
