The Active Travel Debate – The East of England’s views
Attendees at the recent A New Winter Approach Peterborough event had the chance to engage in an insightful active travel debate during an interactive workshop session. In this lively discussion, participants explored the various benefits and drawbacks of active travel, as well as their ideal active travel schemes.
The Active Travel Debate – Scotland’s views
The Scottish Government has made a commitment to direct at least 10% of the transport budget towards active travel by 2024/25.
This investment is for creating networks of safe, segregated routes for cyclists and pedestrians (and a growing range of other active travel) which are projected to account for half of all urban journeys by 2030.
The active travel workshop during A New Winter Approach Scotland (September 2023) brought together winter maintenance practitioners from Scotland’s local authorities to explore various aspects of active travel schemes in Scotland, delving into engagement levels, the ideal scheme characteristics, effective winter treatment, and the barriers to implementation.
