Active travel studies

Travelling actively can deliver many benefits, including healthier citizens, more connected communities, reduced traffic congestion and better air quality. We want walking and cycling to be the natural choice for people to make for their everyday journeys.

To help identify and develop a usable active travel network, we carried out Active Travel Studies for various towns. 

We asked South Lanarkshire residents to tell us about their experiences of active travel and what improvements would encourage them to travel actively.

The studies listed below are still active, but they don't meet current accessibility and readability standards, so they’ve been taken off our website. Any new studies added in the future will meet these standards, and older studies will be updated to do so as well.

If you need to see any of the studies before they are updated, please email our roads and transportation team to ask for a copy.
