Sustrans launches fresh five year strategy

Sustrans has today launched a five year strategy outlining the charity’s priorities leading to 2022.

With 2017 marking the 40th anniversary of the pub-formed group Cyclebag, which latterly became the active travel development group, Sustrans outlines that the need to rebalance our transport priorities is stronger than ever.

“Governments nationally and locally are spending increasing amounts of money on large infrastructure – road and rail – but this investment will not provide the solutions for local short journeys where alternatives to car travel are often absent,” writes Sustrans chief executive Xavier Brice in a blog post announcing the new strategy.
