Views sought on how to prioritise and deliver high-quality active travel infrastructure over the next decade.

The Department for Infrastructure (DfI) has launched a consultation on a plan for active travel infrastructure delivery for shorter everyday journeys within urban and rural settlements over the next 10 years and beyond.

Over one third of journeys in Northern Ireland are less than two miles long, and two thirds are less than five miles long. These shorter distances offer a tremendous opportunity for active travel to become a practical and attractive option for many people. By providing attractive travel options, people can be empowered to make more sustainable choices.

Investment in active travel infrastructure can deliver substantial economic returns. Studies have shown that redesigning urban spaces to encourage walking can lead to increased foot traffic, higher sales for local businesses, and an overall boost to the economy.

Employers also gain from promoting active travel among their workforce. Healthier employees are more productive, take fewer sick days, and exhibit higher morale, leading to a more efficient and engaged workplace. By encouraging active travel, companies can foster a healthier and happier work environment while also contributing to sustainability goals.

A comprehensive plan is essential to maximise the benefits of increased investment. By commenting on the proposals, you can help shape the developing active travel network and DfI鈥檚 overall approach to active travel investment.
