An Active Travel Toolbox has been launched by Sustrans to help local authorities and their partners make the case for, and improve walking and cycling schemes.

The free toolbox, which includes guides, resources, tools and case studies, is organised into three areas, which can be used for forecasting the impact of planned interventions:

  1. The Infrastructure Impact Tool – estimates the impact of investments in specific types of cycling infrastructure.
  2. The Recreational Expenditure Model – estimates the economic benefit of recreational cycling in terms of expenditure in the local economy.
  3. The Strategic Investment Tool – aids understanding around the impact and cost of multi-intervention investment.
