Get to know us Get involved Come and work for us Volunteer with us Donate to us Contact us Our offices Meet our executive directors Read about our Board of Trustees We work to ensure that the benefits of walking and cycling are enjoyed by everyone The benefits of walking, cycling, wheeling and healthy places aren’t experienced in the same way by everyone. We prioritise work with people and in places that challenge this. We involve people with different and seldom-heard voices, to develop solutions that work for everyone. We keep questioning and asking if we can do more. We know we can’t do this on our own so we work closely with others. If you’re not physically active, don’t have access to a car, and live in a congested neighbourhood, it being easy to walk, cycle, scoot or wheel around, with fewer cars on the roads, can make a big difference. XAVIER BRICE, SUSTRANS CEO We’ve been working on walking and cycling since 1977 We have a clear vision for the future Our vision is a society where the way we travel creates healthier places and happier lives for everyone.
