New routes and safer crossings for cycling and walking
More than half of short journeys in towns and cities will be walked, wheeled, or cycled by 2035 under targets announced by the Department for Transport. The cycling and walking investment strategy sets a target for people to hit the pavement or pedals for 55% of short trips in towns and for 60% of children aged 5 to 16 to travel actively to school by the same year.
