Active Travel (Wales) Act

The Active Travel (Wales) Act requires local authorities in Wales to plan and promote walking, cycling, and other sustainable travel options for daily journeys, such as commuting and school runs. The goal is to make active travel safer, easier, and more attractive, encouraging people to choose healthier and environmentally friendly ways to get around. Authorities must develop strategies, improve existing facilities, and ensure infrastructure supports active travel, reducing reliance on cars and helping to improve air quality, public health, and overall well-being in communities.
