We are proud to work with Scotland's leading active travel organisations to get more people walking, wheeling and cycling every day.

We work in collaboration with a range of organisations that make their own unique contribution to making Scotland a happier, healthier place by encouraging active travel.

Our major active travel partners are COMO UK, Cycling Scotland, Cycling UK, Energy Saving Trust, Forth Environment Link, Living Streets Scotland and Sustrans Scotland. Together, we work to influence Transport Scotland to adopt policies that encourage active and sustainable transport, creating a Scotland that supports walking and cycling as the natural choice for short journeys.
