CCC Active Travel Strategy Consultation

August 2024
CCC Active Travel Strategy

Want to see improvements for our roads, paths, rights of way?

This is your opportunity to give your views

please get your comments in now.....


The Active Travel Hierarchy looks to introduce a way of prioritising maintenance activities to better reflect the use of the highway network by walkers, cyclists and other non-motorised traffic. This will support the Council’s Active Travel Strategy and its ambition to make walking or cycling the natural choice for shorter journeys, in turn helping to reduce road traffic congestion, improve journey times, and contributing to carbon reduction in the County.

We would like to invite your feedback on the proposals, so that we can better understand which active travel routes and public rights of way are considered important by our communities, and what maintenance activities stakeholders might like us to prioritise.

Launched by the Highways & Transport service at Cambridgeshire County Council.  This follows proposals for a consultation which were presented to the Council's Highways & Transport Committee in January 2024. The consultation seeks input regarding proposals for an 'Active Travel Hierarchy'.

This is a public consultation that is being promoted on the County Council's social media channels to encourage wide participating, that they may gauge residents’ views.

The consultation has been extended to 30 September 2024  Please get your responses in now.
