Benefits of Active Transport Planning

  1. Promotes walking and cycling as viable modes of transportation within communities: Active Transport Planning encourages the use of walking and cycling as primary modes of transportation, promoting health, reducing congestion, and improving air quality in urban areas. By investing in infrastructure and policies that support active transportation, cities can create environments that are safer, more accessible, and more enjoyable for pedestrians and cyclists.
  2. Enhances safety and accessibility for pedestrians and cyclists: Active Transport Planning focuses on designing infrastructure that prioritises the safety and accessibility of pedestrians and cyclists. This includes the creation of dedicated bike lanes, pedestrian-friendly streetscapes, and improved crossing facilities. By providing safe and convenient options for walking and cycling, Active Transport Planning encourages more people to choose these modes of transportation, leading to healthier and more sustainable communities.
  3. Improves public health by encouraging physical activity: Active Transport Planning contributes to improved public health by encouraging physical activity through walking and cycling. By making it easier and more appealing for people to walk or bike for short trips, cities can help reduce rates of obesity, heart disease, and other chronic health conditions. Additionally, increased physical activity can lead to mental health benefits, such as reduced stress and improved mood.
  4. Reduces traffic congestion and carbon emissions: By shifting trips from cars to active modes of transportation, Active Transport Planning helps reduce traffic congestion and carbon emissions in urban areas. This not only improves air quality and reduces greenhouse gas emissions but also makes cities more livable and enjoyable for residents and visitors alike.
