Prioritising sustainable transport and active travel
From "Strategic Objectives"
Go to the project
1. Reducing the need to travel by creating real options for healthy, accessible and walkable neighbourhoods where key services are available without the need to use motorised transport;
2. Promoting the use of sustainable travel modes by improving existing and providing new frequent public transport links and safe walking and cycling routes in all new developments;
3. Reducing reliance on the private vehicle by improving access to services in rural and urban areas through new development, improved integrated transport links and supporting local and community led transport initiatives in the Local Transport Plan;
4. Creating a genuine choice between different modes of transport by integrating new development with existing networks and enhancing these wherever possible.
