Active travel refers to people-powered transport. This includes walking, wheeling (such as wheelchairs, scooters, prams and buggies) and cycling.
Enabling and encouraging active travel has many benefits:
- improved health and wellbeing
- improved social inclusion
- benefits for the environment
- promoting economic growth
In Fife, we encourage using active travel for everyday journeys. We want to make it easier for people to travel around safely and efficiently. This includes improved walking and cycling routes with the Active Travel Projects, engaging with schools with the School Travel Plans, and cycle training with our Bikeability programmes.
See above for more information on these topics.
