Getting around with ease

Having access to a car can contribute to people’s quality of life, but when everyone owns a car roads become noisy and unsafe and parked cars often clog our streets and pavements. There are significant health and wellbeing benefits to walking, wheeling and cycling, and public transport is crucial in maintaining equitable and resilient neighbourhoods. It is essential that we can choose how to get around, based on needs, accessibility and affordability. This means having the infrastructure to get around using different options by walking, cycling, using public transport or car shares, for example – and having equitable access to a range of transport options.
