Sustrans – the sustainable transport charity – works
on practical projects to encourage people to walk, cycle
and use public transport in order to reduce motor traffic
and its adverse effects.
5000
miles of their flagship project, the National Cycle
Network, were officially opened in June 2000, this
will increase to 10,000 miles by 2005.
One
third of the Network will be on traffic-free paths,
the rest will follow quiet lanes or traffic-calmed
roads. It is co-ordinated by Sustrans, with
generous support of over 450 local authorities and
other partners.
