Quick reminder from our systematic review of a decade of research evaluating active travel interventions.

Multi-component interventions with infrastructural change had greatest impact.

Social/behavioural interventions alone had little impact.

This was also my concern when I attended the launch of the integrated national transport strategy a few weeks ago.

A really strong commitment to inclusion and accessibility. But no discussion of how legacy inaccessibility built into our transport infrastructure will be tackled.
So remember, whilst accessibility is used to sell the Bee Network-not just to local residents but nationally & internationally to place GM as a transport leader, the lived reality of disabled people does not match this.

A network is not accessible if legacy inaccessibility isn't addressed.

"Making walking and cycling more practical and safer would go a long way toward removing barriers to improving physical activity levels and could significantly improve the health of England’s increasingly urban population."

Walk:Enabled were thrilled to support the Beyond Boundaries event by @LimbPower!

With warm-ups, strength & conditioning training, and physio reviews.

The event empowered individuals with limb differences to safely stay active through the winter months.

Big thanks to all
