Active Travel
Active Travel means getting around by walking, cycling or wheeling for everyday journeys. This includes things like going to work or school, visiting the shops, or attending appointments at your GP or pharmacy.
The Council is responsible for planning and improving active travel routes across RCT to help make these journeys easier and safer.
We want to:
Collect information to help us understand where Active Travel routes are most needed in RCT.
Measure the impact of Active Travel schemes on the health and wellbeing of people living in Rhondda Cynon Taf.
Raise awareness of Active Travel and understand how much the public already knows about local routes, facilities, and the benefits of travelling actively.
What we will do
We will use a wide range of evidence understand and raise awareness of Active travel routes in RCT. This will include organisational data, population information, impact data, academic research, professional knowledge, and lived experience from local people.
Bringing these sources together will help us build a full picture of current needs and opportunities.
How you can get involved
Your views are important to us. By taking part in our surveys and sharing your experiences, you’ll be directly contributing to the lived experience evidence we use to understand how people travel across RCT.
Your feedback helps us see what works well, what doesn’t, and what barriers people face when walking, wheeling or cycling.
