This report summarises the findings of our work on active travel and, for the first time, sets out the factors that govern active travel behaviours in people aged 50 to 70.
Active travel – making day-to-day journeys by walking or cycling – is an effective way of bringing more physical activity into our everyday lives. Increasing our physical activity levels will make us healthier and help us to lead longer and more independent lives. However, levels of physical activity and of active travel drop off rapidly with age and it’s essential that we target people in mid-life to address this decline.
We translate the findings into practical measures that local authorities can take.
