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:

  • investing in and improving standards for active travel schemes across England
  • integrating active travel in the planning and development system
  • focusing on inclusivity and accessibility and giving people from all walks of life the opportunity to try active travel
  • helping councils to access state of the art data and analysis to use in active travel planning and design
     
"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
