CEDAR researchers are among the many researchers who've generated the evidence making the case for greater focus on active travel. Here are just some examples from our publications, evidence submissions and tools...
We've helped make the case that swapping the car for more active forms of getting around is good for you - https://www.cedar.iph.cam.ac.uk/cycling-walking-to-work-lowers-risk-of-disease-and-death/ https://www.cedar.iph.cam.ac.uk/cycling-walking-to-work-lowers-risk-of-disease-and-death/
Switching to cycling can improve road safety https://www.cedar.iph.cam.ac.uk/16033-2/
And far more children could cycle to school with better transport planning https://www.cedar.iph.cam.ac.uk/twenty-times-more-english-children-could-cycle-to-school-with-better-transport-planning/
We've studied infrastructure and how it affects everyday transport choices https://www.cedar.iph.cam.ac.uk/resources/evidence/eb-15-changing-travel/
And looking beyond just cycling and walking, looked at the impact of major road infrastructure on health in local neighbourhoods https://www.cedar.iph.cam.ac.uk/resources/evidence/eb-16-roads-and-communities/
And the 'how' is as important as the 'what' - we've provided insight into how to make walking and cycling interventions successful https://www.cedar.iph.cam.ac.uk/resources/evidence/eb18-active-travel-function-over-form/
... and how planners approach the issue of how to design physically active communities https://www.cedar.iph.cam.ac.uk/designing-for-health-physically-active-communities/
The @transportgovuk funded Propensity to Cycle Tool - http://www.pct.bike - developed with @UniWestminster and @UniversityLeeds - provides an evidence base to inform cycling investment.
There's a 2017 summary of evidence generated from the tool here https://www.cedar.iph.cam.ac.uk/resources/evidence/eb-14-englands-cycling-potential/
Much > on our website. So many researchers have contributed to this evidence within & beyond CEDAR - but a quick shout out to some tweeters @JennaPanter @dbogilvie @lindsey_g_smith @rizkamaulida13 @AnnaLeGouais @olimytton @rahulatiitd @samanthahajna @RichardPatter @Adam_Mart1n
... and PCT collaborators @RachelAldred and @robinlovelace
Oh and @DKHumphreys... and probably others!
