#22 - Investment in public transport must be integrated with active travel for safe pedestrian access.
ATE expects the largest increases in rates of active travel participation will come from more people walking and wheeling, rather than cycling. It recognised that buses and trams can increase the number of walking trips taken..51 However, ATE told us that there had been “countless examples” of new bus or tram infrastructure being installed without pavements or crossings...
