Active Travel England is an executive agency, sponsored by the Department for Transport.

Active travel makes people happier and healthier. That’s why Active Travel England wants to increase the number of local journeys being walked, wheeled or cycled by 2030.

We are doing this by:

  • enabling cheaper, safer, healthier journeys, particularly to school 
  • creating healthier, better-connected new developments 
  • building local skills and capacity to plan, design and deliver high-quality initiatives
     
"For cycling and walking to become the natural choice for shorter journeys, people must feel safe and the options must be easy"
- Chris Boardman CBE, National Active Travel Commissioner
