This report brings together the Welsh Assembly Government's key initiatives to support walking and cycling in Wales.
To achieve this behavioural change a series of aims and actions have been brought together to encourage greater participation and to provide improved infrastructure to enable greater participation. The plan aims to deliver on the One Wales commitment to support greater participation in walking and cycling. The plan also links into two of the Wales Transport Strategy’s key objectives, the promotion of more sustainable travel options and to make walking and cycling the public’s first choice for shorter journeys.
To ensure that the plan has the desired effect on encouraging greater participation in walking and cycling, the Welsh Assembly Government has set out six walking and cycling targets with associated monitoring indicators. The Transport Statistics Branch of the Statistical Directorate have been commissioned to monitor progress in achieving the targets each year using the indicators set out in the Action Plan.
This bulletin reports on the progress made in achieving the targets for the first year of the Action Plan’s life. The Transport Statistics Branch has also been commissioned to monitor the National Transport Plan. They have linked the monitoring of the Walking and Cycling Action Plan to the National Transport Plan monitoring. We have used the six walking and cycling monitoring indicators in the Walking and Cycling Action Plan as part of National Transport Plan monitoring report, as the successful delivery of each plan is linked to the other.
