by making local environments safer and more attractive for walking and cycling by supporting and encouraging individuals to make more sustainable travel choices by influencing policy and practice. Sustrans works in three ways

29 million walking and cycling trips on the Network in Wales last year potential carbon saving of these trips is over 63,000 tonnes a year, valued at £3.2 million The health benefits of cycling on the Network in Wales in 2009 were worth £20.5 million National Cycle Network in Wales

87% of residents now say the street is safe for children, compared to just 11% before 33% of residents now spend more time with their neighbours.

Passenger transport purpose (all modes)
16
Estimated CO2 emissions by journey purpose
17
Decarbonising local travel 55% of UK total transport emissions come from personal car use 20% of CO 2 emissions arise from journeys that are less than 5 miles More than half of all car journeys are under 5 miles Only 2% of journeys under 5 miles are currently cycled On average we each travel 1,300 journeys a year that are under 5 miles

TravelSmart Case Study 1
19
Based on approach pioneered by Socialdata in late 1980s to promote public transport First extended to include walking and cycling as part of TravelSmart programme in Perth, Western Australia Introduced to UK in 2001 by Sustrans in partnership with Socialdata Now delivered 29 projects helping more than 250,000 people to travel more sustainably TravelSmart - a brief history
20
Designed to directly address individual subjective barriers that prevent greater use of sustainable travel Focused on enabling (not telling) people to change behaviour, when and where it suits them best Multi-stage dialogue allows for varying levels of engagement Customer focus results in unique experience for every participating household Addresses all travel purposes Why does TravelSmart work?
21
Regular user (~15%) of sustainable modes with info needs Interested (~50%) in using sustainable modes Personal delivery Information pack (+ reward for regular users) Target population Personal contact (65-95%) by phone or on the doorstep Home advice session Regular user (~10%) of sustainable modes w/out info needs Reward only Personal delivery Not Interested (~25%) in using sustainable modes Eco-driving info/ no further contact By post The TravelSmart process

Savings ranging from 417 to 1,540 car km per household per year Estimated CO 2 savings of 85 to 313 kg per year (using 2009 Defra fleet average conversion factor) Peterborough and Worcester TravelSmart delivered annual CO2 savings of 6,412 tonnes and 4,005 tonnes on baseline levels, respectively.
