Active Travel describes walking, wheeling or cycling for everyday journeys. Where possible, active travel can bring multiple benefits to individuals and communities, helping to save money, support better mental and physical health, reduce transport emissions and pollution, promote community cohesion and contribute to local economies and culture.
Community organisations are often very well placed to lead on active travel initiatives, having insight into where and how people want to travel locally and knowing how best to support the mindset or infrastructure changes needed to make active journeys possible.
