Active travel design and implementation
We work with local and regional governments to design, plan and implement strategies that promote, facilitate and enable active travel at local and city-wide levels.

In Cardiff, UK, we worked with Cardiff Council to develop proposals for a network of cycleways that connect major destinations and communities across the city.
Cardiff was looking to double the number of cycle trips within the city by 2030. Arup’s team of transport planners and civil engineers worked closely with Cardiff Council to develop the network of cycleways’ proposal. Five primary route corridors were identified and will connect major destinations, existing communities and strategic development sites across the city.
As trusted advisors, we partner with developers, architects and planners on significant masterplans and developments leading to exemplar schemes.
The South East of Scotland Transport Partnership (SEStran) Strategic Network is a comprehensive plan to create a region-wide walking and cycling network. Driven by a need to move beyond the delivery of one-off travel projects and investments, this active travel network is designed to transform walking and cycling within the South East of Scotland by connecting cities, towns, neighbourhoods, settlements and public transport hubs.
Working in collaboration with SEStran, through its partnership with Sustrans Scotland, and eight local authorities, Arup was appointed to determine the optimal network for high-quality active travel routes within the SEStran region. The result is a proposed network of 600km of continuous off-road routes that join the region through new and existing active travel infrastructure.

Active travel
Adapting existing neighbourhoods and districts to accommodate a more complex mix of pedestrians, bikes, scooters and powered vehicles requires thoughtful planning. Our active travel team helps clients navigate decision making routes seek to solve, to deliver lasting benefits to communities.
