SCIS Insight: The Social Benefits of Active Travel

SCIS Insight briefings highlight the key social benefits and real value of local climate action that local authorities across Scotland could implement.

This briefing - Active Travel - has been produced by the SCIS colleagues working on the UK Co-Benefits Atlas. It highlights the social benefits of active travel interventions, demonstrating how investments in active travel not only reduces emissions but help local authorities deliver key service outcomes, while reducing strain on public finances in the long-term.
