The CIHT Policy Brief Making the Case for Investment in Active Travel explores:
The importance of physical activity for health, exploring how giving people more choice in how they travel allows more people to integrate more physical activity into their daily lives.
The benefits associated with a proactive approach to allocating funding, with greater investment in the provision of dedicated active travel infrastructure reducing the level of resource needed to be invested in managing chronic physical and mental health conditions.
Physical activity is crucial for both physical and mental health. Investing in walking, wheeling and cycling promotes increased physical activity at a population level. This supports the efficiency of health and social care services, using prevention as tool to help people live healthier lives for longer. Well maintained roads, footways and cycle infrastructure are key, both in making active travel more attractive and accessible, and improving safety.
