Welcome to Active Travel Innovations 2024
This event will highlight the successful delivery of high quality and safe active travel infrastructure across the UK, and showcase the local authorities, consultants, charities, campaign groups, volunteers and academics delivering the schemes needed to make active travel part a key part of everyday lives.
Why now?
UK government authorities have committed to boosting active travel. In England, that means ensuring that 50% of trips in towns and cities are walked, wheeled or cycled by 2030. Scotland says that by 2030 its communities will be shaped around people and place, enabling walking and cycling to be the most popular mode of travel for short, everyday journeys. Wales wishes to increase its active travel trip mode share to at least 35% by 2040.
To meet these ambitious targets, local authorities are working alongside consultants, charities, campaign groups, volunteers and academia to ensure that people have the high-quality infrastructure needed to make active travel part of their everyday lives.
