Work in partnership with us to tackle the challenges of congestion, air pollution, physical inactivity, and social inequality, by making it easier for people to walk and cycle.
For professionalsYour support helps to give children access to the training and equipment they need to ride a bike safely - starting a cycle of good that can go on to benefit their health, education and future.
Get involvedWe specialise in active travel, making the case for walking and cycling by using robust evidence and showing what can be done.
Our team of over 30 researchers, analysts and evaluation specialists work closely with partners from across the UK to ensure we have a clear understanding of the impact of ߣߣÊÓƵ work and the wider context of the benefits of active travel.
Decision-makers require evidence to assess the potential reach, effectiveness and value of proposed solutions.
We pioneer best practice appraisal approaches (including supporting the development of Ìý²¹²Ô»åÌý) to estimate the likely impact of particular interventions and produce robust economic benefit figures.
Our monitoring and evaluation frameworks help you understand the outcomes of your programmes alongside what is and isn't working so that you can make the best use of available funds and resources.
We offer a comprehensive service in evaluating interventions designed to increase active travel. Our extensive experience of monitoring walking and cycling enabling programmes positions us as a leader in this field.
Our evaluations utilise a five-step process:
We use a range of tools and approaches to project cycling levels, estimate propensity to cycle and calculate the required investment to meet targets. We tailor our approach to client needs, drawing on experience in gathering data on the target population and the local area and, where appropriate, applying geographic information systems (GIS) approaches to our analysis.
Designing, delivering and informing research projects in partnership with academics across the UK, and undertaking analysis and evidence reviews on issues relevant to active and sustainable travel.
Providing best practice guidance and training, including support with implementation, across all areas of our expertise.
Bike Life is the UK’s biggest assessment of cycling delivered by ߣߣÊÓƵ in collaboration with seven cities.
'Women: reducing the gender gap' report is an example of our research in this area.Â
Women: Reducing the gender gapThe Hands Up Scotland Survey looks at how pupils across Scotland travel to school and nursery. Established in 2008, the survey has been providing an insight into journeys to school for more than a decade and is the largest national dataset on school travel.
