ACTIVE TRAVEL DELIVERY PLAN CONSULTATION

Closes 28 Feb 2025

Opened 13 Nov 2024

Overview

Over one third of journeys in Northern Ireland are less than two miles long, and two thirds are less than five miles long. These shorter distances offer a tremendous opportunity for active travel to become a practical and attractive option for many people.

This Active Travel Delivery Plan sets out how the Department for Infrastructure will prioritise and deliver high-quality active travel infrastructure, for shorter everyday journeys within urban and rural settlements, over the next 10 years. The plan will be instrumental in ensuring that the infrastructure is consistently designed to be safe, accessible, and interconnected, encouraging more people to walk, wheel, or cycle as part of their daily routine.

Why your views matter

By commenting on our proposals, you can help shape the developing active travel network in your area and the Department’s overall approach to active travel investment.

It is planned to hold a number of engagement events during the consultation period if you would like more information before responding.
