Active Travel
Active Travel works with policy-makers and practitioners to promote walking and cycling as health-enhancing physical activity.
Sedentary lifestyles are causing an obesity epidemic and increasing the risk of health problems such as diabetes, heart disease, stroke, cancers and osteoporosis. One of the easiest ways to increase physical activity is to include walking and cycling in the daily routine.
Latest publications
Active Travels' most recent information sheet, Active travel and health inequalities, reviews the evidence regarding the benefits of physical activity for people in the most deprived communities. It concludes that physical activity has an important role to play in tackling health inequalities.
