Move smarter

We all want to see more people riding bikes, scooters and skateboards. Project Active Travel is where they get started. It’s also where they build confidence, find others to ride with and develop practical skills like route planning and repair.

Walking is the original mode of Active Travel – and it’s still one of the healthiest ways of moving around more sustainably. Project Active Travel gets people striding out, exploring new routes and enjoying being closer to nature. It also helps them plan bus journeys, and enjoy time spent travelling without the stress of being at the wheel.

Through our two Active Travel strands, we’re bringing options and assistance to people in every part of the Forth Valley. Our Active Schools Hubs are a vital resource for secondary school students, their families, teachers, school staff and the wider communities. We now offer a vast range of activity through our eight hubs, including Paths for All accredited Walk Leader training for senior students, as well as skateboarding, scootering, and in-depth bike maintenance classes.

And for the children without bikes? We change that. Every winter and spring we go further than ever before to source, build and deliver free bikes to primary 7 students, so they have a healthy, sustainable, independent means of travelling to their high schools come August. We even show them the best routes.

We’re also working with NHS services and social prescribers via our Communtiy Active Travel offerings, to get healthcare staff moving on their way to and from work and help patients recover better. We have free long-term loans of over 150 ebikes and ecargo bikes in our easy-to-use library.

No matter who you are or what your needs are, we can help.
