What is active travel?
Active travel means making journeys by walking or cycling. These are usually short journeys, like walking to the shops, walking the kids to school, cycling to work, or cycling to the station to catch a commuter train.
Active travel keeps you fit and health by making exercise part of your daily routine. It also saves you money and reduces your carbon footprint, improving air quality and reducing road congestion.
Not sure where to start? We’ve got lots of tips to help you get started on your active travel journey.
