Annual Review from Travel Actively - download here
Friday 1 January 2010
The first Annual Review from Travel Actively is available to download from at the Travel Actively Website here.
Travel Actively is a portfolio of projects from the Active Travel Consortium that addresses health and wellbeing through regular walking and cycling across England.
The consortium is a partnership of the leading walking, cycling and health organisations, each dedicated to promoting active travel.
This £30 million programme, of which £20 million has come from the Big Lottery Fund’s Wellbeing Fund, focuses upon sedentary and traditionally hard-to-reach audiences who have the greatest potential for change and the biggest health gains.
Building on the proven experience within the consortium of generating lasting behaviour change, projects focus on regular journeys in local areas – such as to work, school or the shops – and address people’s motivation for walking and cycling. Over the next four years, these projects will generate a body of evidence to show how regular active travel can have a positive impact on health and well-being.
The report contains a taste of what the consortium has achieved in its first year with a selection of case studies from our projects.
