What is Active Travel?

Active Travel is defined as travelling with purpose and using your own energy. Commuting to work or the shops by walking or cycling is an example of active travel.

The aim of Active Travel is to provide alternative, safe ways of getting to places, with a specific emphasis on the mode of transport used and the infrastructure required. The primary mode of active travel transport is walking, wheeling (non-motorised), or cycling.
