Share Your Views
We are now running a four-week public and stakeholder engagement to capture your views on active travel related problems within your local area and across the west of Scotland, and to recognise the opportunities that could be realised in the future.
By sharing your feedback on the key opportunities and problems associated with walking, wheeling and cycling across the west of Scotland at this early stage, we will have a greater understanding of the needs and ambitions of communities and businesses across the region. From this, we will be in a position to take a strategic approach to developing an active travel network which will allow for cross-boundary, integrated travel and the benefits of this to be realised across the region.
All feedback received will be published in consultation reports. The engagement will close at 23:59 on Sunday 12 November.
Project purpose & process
Before submitting your views, please read about the project purpose and process below.
Active Travel Strategy Survey
This survey is an opportunity to provide your feedback on existing active travel problems and opportunities across the full extent of the region.
To better understand the transformative impact this strategy could have on your lives, we are asking for you to share the extent to which you currently walk, wheel and/or cycle, and the reasons why you don’t walk, wheel and cycle more often. As part of the engagement, we are also keen to know how you anticipate travelling in the future.
Finally, we want to know about changes, if any, you have made to your travel as a result of the cost of living crisis, COVID-19 pandemic and/or the climate change emergency.
Feedback can be provided from public, businesses and groups or organisations via the digital survey using the buttons below.
The engagement is now live and will run for four weeks, closing at 23:59 on Sunday 12 November, after which the project team will compile the problems and opportunities and the process of identifying solutions will begin.”

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
The Active Travel Strategy will help to deliver A Call to Action, the regional transport strategy (RTS) for 2023-2038. The principles behind the development of the Active Travel
Strategy are underpinned by the Scottish Government's National Transport Strategy 2 (NTS2) vision, which is that we will have “a sustainable, inclusive, safe and accessible transport system, helping deliver a healthier, fairer and more prosperous Scotland for communities, businesses and visitors."
Funding for the project was provided by Strathclyde Partnership for Transport (SPT) through generated revenue streams and was awarded by the Scottish Government through Sustrans Scotland’s Places for Everyone programme. Places for Everyone is an
active travel infrastructure programme funded by the Scottish Government through Transport Scotland and is administered by Sustrans.
This survey is being administered by Sweco UK Ltd on behalf of Strathclyde Partnership for Transport (SPT). Information provided will be treated confidentially and in accordance with
the Data Protection Act 2018 and General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) 2018. Strathclyde Partnership for Transport's privacy statement, which explains how we will process your personal information and your rights as a data subject, is available at:

Wheeling refers to an alternative means of travel to foot/pedestrian-based mobility, such as travel by wheelchair or mobility scooter. While many wheelchair and mobility scooter
users identify with the term wheeling, others prefer walking.
Public engagement strengthens the involvement of residents, businesses, visitors, elected members and technical experts in the decision making process, ensuring the Active Travel Strategy reflect communities' views and addresses the identified problems and opportunities.
We are now running a four-week engagement period to identify a range of active travel barriers, problems and opportunities.
The public engagement period will close on Sunday 12 November at 23:59.
