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.
About this project
The project is one of three undertaken as part of RCT HDRC’s input on Transform, the Council’s senior management development programme. It provides colleagues with an opportunity to learn, refine and implement the skills required for evidence-informed decision making in a safe environment.
Throughout this process, we want to enhance our understanding of Active Travel in RCT, including where it is most needed, the impact on health and wellbeing and how much the public already knows.
What we will do
We will use a wide range of evidence including organisational data, population information, impact data, academic research, professional knowledge, and lived experience from local people.
This will help us to better understand:
The potential health and wellbeing impacts of active travel infrastructure
How other areas measure the health and wellbeing impacts of active travel infrastructure
How residents perceive active travel routes and their benefits
The awareness of active travel amongst residents
Bringing these sources together will help us build a full picture of current needs and opportunities.
How residents got involved
📝 Took our survey
They told us about their experiences of walking, wheeling or cycling in RCT. Their feedback helped us see what works well, what doesn’t, and what barriers people face when walking, wheeling or cycling.

We have now completed the Active Travel project which involved working alongside Transform colleagues, enhancing our understanding of the potential benefits of Active Travel, RCT residents’ awareness, and possible measurement tools. A project summary with further information has now been published and can be found here.
