Active Travel England is responsible for making walking, wheeling and cycling the preferred choice for everyone to get around. Our objective is for 50% of trips in England鈥檚 towns and cities to be walked, wheeled or cycled by 2030.

By making everyday journeys simple, easy and fun, Active Travel England is working to give people the choice to leave their car at home.鈥疻e鈥檒l do this by working alongside councils to:

• give people an alternative to driving by delivering new, protected routes and junctions, and quieter roads and neighbourhoods
• put active travel at the heart of towns and cities, including ensuring that 拢3.2 billion of government investment on active travel delivers to new high national standards
• embed active travel into 1,000 major new developments, reducing local congestion
• provide the tools to deliver ambitious active travel programmes, including training local officers and councillors in active travel delivery best practice鈥�
• make it safer,鈥痠ncluding developing new solutions and guidance on safe infrastructure design based on solid insight and evidence to reduce the risk of near-misses and collisions

We will also:

• provide鈥痜unding for every school that would like Bikeability training for children
• give one million people who wouldn鈥檛 think cycling is for them an opportunity to try it

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