Promoting inclusive, low carbon, active travel
Sustainable mobility is about reducing the environmental consequences of travel choices whilst also promoting greater equality of accessibility.
Walking and cycling, as very low environmental impact modes which also encourage a healthier population, are central to this theme. Collective mobility solutions including shared ownership and use of transport assets are also important. The theme seeks to understand the barriers to a greater role for these mobility options and to develop knowledge to support their development.

For each project we provide key details and a summary. In most cases a two-page briefing sheet is available.
