The Project 

Walking, wheeling and cycling are important for our health. Encouraging more people to travel via active modes, when possible, will improve health, quality of life, the environment, local economies and reduce the costs associated with health and social care. 

However, our highways network can prove inhospitable to active travel, meaning that many people are forced to rely on private vehicles for everyday journeys.  

The CIHT project to make it easier for local authorities to implement active travel schemes, focusing particularly on: 

• The challenges preventing the successful implementation of active travel schemes.
• Recommendations as to how to overcome these obstacles 

Chair of the Project

Jon Parker, FCIHT, Council member, trustee and chair of the Education and Professional Development Strategy Board
