Active travel describes everyday journeys made by walking, wheeling, or cycling. Government believes active travel has potential to support its wider strategic priorities to increase physical activity, tackle obesity, improve air quality, level up, and achieve net zero carbon emissions by 2050. It is six years since DfT published its first Cycling and Walking Investment Strategy in 2017 and two years remain in the current funding period, to March 2025. This report examines whether the Department for Transport (DfT) is set up to achieve its ambitions for increased walking, wheeling and cycling in England by 2025. We have assessed: DfT’s strategic approach to active travel; progress made against DfT’s objectives for active travel since 2017; and progress in tackling the barriers to uptake of active travel.
