#activetravel — Public Fediverse posts

We've been blown away by the support from ordinary people across Exeter.

Could you join them & add a fiver?

This will fund legal advice if Dryden Rd plans are presented which would make this strategic 🚲 route less safe.

“Heatwaves show UK must do more to promote cycling and walking, campaigners say. Civil society groups argue climate crisis means transport sector needs to urgently reduce its carbon emissions.” And that doesn’t mean manufacturing lots more EVs which still have a substantial carbon footprint. It means more infrastructure for safe (traffic free) active travel. #Transport #Climate #ActiveTravel

Perfect remains the enemy of good enough?

TBH there should be more encouragement to put #ActiveTravel schemes in that aren’t quite compliant with funding to bring them up to spec later. We seem to spend too much time navel gazing and not enough delivering.

High Street residents mostly positive on city taking land for multiuse path

"It’ll connect to the existing multiuse path further south on High. The project also involves replacing two existing traffic signals and installing new stormwater infrastructure and improving crosswalks"

At the community meeting for this people barely asked about the path but were very worried about stormwater. I hope that infrastructure went well.

Incentives for people who🚶‍♀️30m/day from NHS England? BMJ @scarlettmcnally.bsky.social "A better system'd reward modal shift 🚗 =>🚶🚲🛴🚌 It'd need changes to infrastructure, but strong evidence shows that active travel improves mental & physical health" #NHS #ActiveTravel www.bmj.com/content/394/...

Bloody hell, France, do you not subsidise active travel? Look at this for a journey from Cherbourg to Rennes - cheapest mode is driving a wasteful heap of metal, instead of sitting in a comfortable train & bus! In fact, looking at the SNCF site, it's far, far worse!

Well, I guess it's good for active travel campaigners that Heidi Alexander has remained as lead transport minister. That should mean Chris Boardman stays as Commissioner. #activetravel #heidialexander #biketooter

How do you feel about memberships for websites/newsletters (free, but sign-up required)? In an age of rampant AI content theft, I'm torn.

I've popped this post behind the membership wall as an experiment. I'd welcome your thoughts and boosts so I can gather some feedback. Thanks.
