With 1.5 billon car journeys every year of less than 1 mile (!) this is such an important partner to ensure people have more transport alternatives, especially locally. 👏👏 @activetraveleng @NationalHways

[Marc Harris, PhD @MarcHarrisPhD]

Policies to help people walk and cycle create public health benefits as much as 100 times greater than their costs.

This research strongly suggests Low Traffic Neighbourhoods generate a very high return on investment.

[HSE Ireland @HSELive]

In partnership with the Department of Health, we have published new National Physical Activity and Sedentary Behaviour guidelines for Ireland.

There will be a webinar on Tuesday, 12 March from 11:30 am to 12:45 pm to support the publication of the new guidelines.

During the webinar we will:
➡️ Share the new guidelines and key messages for public and professionals
➡️ Discuss the evidence and process for developing the guidelines
➡️ Explore the role that the guidelines can play in enabling more people to be more active, more often.

1/6🧵 The @livingstreets UK #WalkingSummit is helping push active travel boundaries💪🏆

With Mayor @olivercoppard I’ve loved welcoming everyone to South Yorkshire today and talk about our bold plans for walking, wheeling and cycling 🚶‍♀️ 🛴 🚲

[Chris Boardman CBE @Chris_Boardman]

1/2 A couple of papers for us nerds & some top data:
'Active travel is a “best buy” for improving health. Commuting by cycling reduces incidence of, and mortality from, heart disease and cancer BY OVER 30% Imagine a drug that could do that.
But how....
https://t.co/0W7OMH1EBp

[Living Streets @livingstreets]

How can we overcome opposition and demonstrate the value of active travel projects?

That’s the question being posed this morning to our expert panel: @Ed_Clancy, @JuliaCrear, @mikehakata, Matt Higgins, Cllr Christine Gilligan Kubo & Kerry @perruzza.

[Linlithgow Community Development Trust @TrustLinlithgow]

Spring is just around the corner and the flowers are starting to bloom!
The Nordic Walkers meet on Thursday and still have got some room.
So why not come and join them and hear the birdies sing.
Then have a cup of something warm and have a nice morning!

Well done Scotland. I shall be popping up shortly! 👏👏

[Walking Scotland @walking_scot]

We share the difficult news that @transcotland have made the decision to no longer fund our Smarter Choices, Smarter Places (SCSP) programme. #SCSP and the projects we have supported leave a legacy of positively changed behaviours, attitudes and lives.
