Brief description Globally, one third of adults are not active at recommended levels, putting them at major risk of disease and early death. A focus on healthy travel – walking, cycling, public transport – provides an under-explored opportunity to increase physical activity. However, we know little about travel behaviour patterns, the factors influencing these, and the best ways to increase active travel. This project will work closely with key stakeholders to address these important knowledge and practice gaps.
