[H+T--Friends] FW: Active travel briefings for Local Authorities

I thought you’d like to see these. They’re aimed at the UK but are mostly transferable across boundaries. There are three sets of slides: one aimed at Directors of Public Health, one at Directors of Transport in local government, and one aimed at the elected members (‘Councillors’, i.e. local politicians). Many of the slides are the same but with the reasons / benefits / impacts ranked differently (health/inequalities vs congestion/sustainability vs economic arguments).

The briefings are in the form of short Powerpoint presentations and bring together all the latest evidence, policy and ideas on active travel. They are designed to help local authorities make the case for action to increase walking and cycling.
