How can you support others to use active travel?

• Create a map to show places to park a car that are 1km away. Walking Maps is a great, easy-to-use resource that you can use to create your own map. For a 1km walk you take between 1,250 and 1,550 steps and achieve around 10mins of your daily activity requirements.
• Download the PTV app. Using the app you can find nearby public transport stops and hubs and easily calculate your journey to work from different modes of public transport.
• Provide a space for secure bike storage
• If possible, provide showers, change rooms and lockers
• Set up a Walking Group at your workplace, or even better connect with other businesses in your local area and use it as a networking activity. Find out How to Start a Walking Group
