Webinar: Active Travel in Wales – Making the Infrastructure Work
Join us on 7 July to learn about making Active Travel in Wales a success with impactful behaviour change programmes.
Earlier this year, the Welsh Government announced £75 million of funding for active travel, as part of its Llwybr Newydd transport strategy.
Many of the high-profile projects underway are around Infrastructure: safe routes, cycle highways, pedestrian bridges etc. But while they are important, they are not enough on their own. In fact, Priority 3 of the Llwybr Newydd strategy is explicitly about changing behaviours and attitudes towards travel, reducing individual vehicle ownership and supporting digital innovation in passenger transport.
Infrastructures are a waste of money if people don’t use them. And people won’t use them if they’re not encouraged to and are not included in the process. Historically, though, such large-scale engagement was very tricky and costly to achieve.
Not any more! We will show you how behaviour change technology and interventions can transform engagement with your transport strategies and help you reach your Active Travel and Net Zero goals:
- Give people a reason to track how they use transport modes and routes
- Reward them for choosing active or sustainable modes, such as walking, cycling and public transport
- Gather data and user feedback to inform policy and improve the network
- Get mass engagement, smartly.
