Question
How does the Minister plan to discourage car usage in favour of active travel, when many people find that the convenience and comfort of a car is preferable during bad weather?
Answer
Answered by Deputy Minister for Climate Change
The Active Travel Delivery Plan 2024-27 outlines how we intend to make active travel the first and natural choice for all or part of everyday journeys for many more people. This includes supporting high quality active travel infrastructure which can be safely used regardless of the weather.
We also support the further roll-out of the Healthy Travel Charter across employers in Wales to help employers incentivise their staff to travel more actively to work and in the course of business. We will also consider ways we can support and incentivise employers to aid the implementation of enhanced workplace infrastructure such as cycle parking, equipment storage and shower, changing and drying facilities. This will help make active travel easier during bad weather.
