What is Active Travel?

Active Travel is an initiative that focuses on reducing congestion, carbon emission, and health issues in Deepdale and all regions across the UK and on increasing active travel, such as walking and cycling.

With walkways and cycling routes, we aim to encourage people to ditch public transport and their cars for healthier movement during their everyday journeys.

When it is easier to travel around your local area by foot or bike, we can reduce the number of car journeys and the demand for public transport.

Not only does active travel improve your health, but it can also drastically reduce carbon emissions in any area. You can improve your health and the environment by opting for walking and cycling instead of going by car.

As a Deepdale surfacing company, we are working as part of the Active Travel plan to make walking and cycling more accessible in all regions. We create walkways, cycling routes, and path infrastructure for wheelchair users to encourage people to get outdoors.

As well as making walking and cycling easier for everyone, the Active Travel initiative educates people in business, children in schools, and other community members regarding the importance of active travel for both health and the environment.

What are Examples of Active Travel?

Active travel refers to modes of transportation that involve physical activity, typically walking and cycling, as the primary means of getting from one place to another. Here are some examples of active travel:

  • Walking: Walking is one of the most common forms of active travel. It includes walking for various purposes, such as commuting to work, going to school, running errands, or simply taking a leisurely stroll.

  • Cycling: Cycling involves riding bicycles for transportation. People use bicycles for commuting, recreational rides, and even for errands. Bicycle-sharing programs have made cycling more accessible in many urban areas.

  • Jogging and Running: While primarily seen as a form of exercise, jogging and running can also be modes of active travel, particularly for shorter trips or when individuals choose to run instead of walk for transportation.

  • Skating: Inline skating, rollerblading, and skateboarding are alternative forms of active travel for those who are comfortable with these activities. They are often used for shorter trips within neighbourhoods or on designated paths.

  • Scooter Riding: Electric scooters and kick scooters have gained popularity as a mode of active travel in many urban areas. Users can rent scooters to travel short distances.

  • Public Transportation Combined with Walking/Cycling: Active travel doesn't necessarily mean exclusively walking or cycling. Many people use public transportation (buses, trains, subways) and combine it with walking or cycling for the first and last legs of their journeys.

Benefits of Active Travel

Opting to walk or cycle around your area instead of using public transport can offer many benefits, including the following:

Active Travel in North West

  • Better physical, mental and social health in all towns

  • Reduced carbon emissions which can help reach carbon-zero goals nationally

  • Increased economic growth in all regions

  • Better communities with reduced inequality, as active travel is wheelchair user-friendly and suitable for everyone.

People can benefit greatly from getting active by walking and cycling more frequently. By reducing our reliance on the car and public transport for journeys, we can also contribute to a safer environment.

Our company contributes to Active Travel by creating bike paths and safe walking routes in all regions in Deepdale, making it easier for people to opt for these methods of transport for all their journeys.
