Choosing to #walk, wheel or #cycle for short local journeys combats the #climateemergency by reducing #carbonemissions & improves air quality 🏘️
Help keep communities safe, quiet & green by reducing traffic congestion, encouraging greenspace and active travel routes! 🌍
Congratulations to @DurhamCouncil for £2.8m funding for #activetravel! Also great that @MartinGannon002 acknowledges the need for behaviour change too: “Encouraging greater use of active travel will help us to realise many of our environmental ambitions”. https://t.co/2ym8E4xaYd
Today we've allocated £200m to give people nationwide the freedom of choice to walk, wheel or cycle for short trips. @Chris_Boardman joined @Jesse_Norman in Coventry where #ActiveTravel schemes are making local journeys easier, cheaper and more fun🚲🌍👟👇https://t.co/hrwjxSIdYr
Katie studies the movement of bats at @SussexUni, but is also interested in her own movement: ‘[BetterPoints] definitely encouraged me to think more smartly about how I travel. I will more frequently choose to walk or ride … instead of using my car'.

We were delighted to see BetterPoints used to promote @the_bicycle_bus: "A lead cyclist picks up children and parents along a planned route and the group cycles to school together." Brilliant! 🚴♂️ 🚌

Move for Change by @BrightonHoveCC is set for 2 more years, with a focus on under-represented groups, buses and local business. In 2022 it recorded >1 million active/sustainable journeys, over half replacing a car, preventing ~392,000 kg of CO2 emissions.

⚠ Last month the Government slashed investment in active travel by over £200 million ⚠
These cuts are a huge backward step for our climate, economy, and health, and simply don’t make sense.
It’s time to speak up 👇
Active travel isn't just a 'nice to have'. Walking and cycling is worth an estimated £36.5 billion to the UK economy annually and is how millions of people get to work, go to the shops and travel around healthily, cheaply, and emissions-free.
After success in 2022, @mkcouncil is running a second Get Around Rewards programme for 2023. In 2022 it initiated 190,000+ active or sustainable journeys, 62% replacing a car, and prevented ~47,000 kg of CO2 emissions. https://t.co/qfUPzJRHUa #sustainabletransport#activetravel
Today the Bikeability Trust is at Parliament for the @allpartycycling #ActiveTravel Showcase. Now is more important than ever to show government why #ActiveTravel funding is essential.
Proud to exhibit the brilliance of @BikeabilityUK for all children, families and communities.
Our app now supports Welsh! Following a successful pilot at @cardiffuni, we have translated the BetterPoints app into Welsh to enable us to deliver a fully bilingual programme in 2023. https://t.co/YwIm7ll0Le
