In more detail
Sustrans is a charity that aims to enable people to travel by foot, bike or public transport for more of the everyday journeys they make. The group began – as Cyclebag – in the late 1970s and was closely associated with the development of the National Cycle network, which was a National Lottery Millennium Project.
Sustrans works with local council, employers, developers, communities and others to reduce car use; create better streets and routes; enable safer and more sustainable transport; and to cut carbon emissions. The group works in neighbourhoods, workplaces and schools and colleges. As well as contracting for work in localities, Sustrans supports volunteers, organises campaigns and produces research which anyone looking to bring about better places to live and work could find useful.
