Sustrans makes smarter travel choices possible,
desirable and inevitable.
We’re a leading charity enabling people to travel
by foot, bike or public transport for more of the
journeys that they make every day. We work with
families, communities, policy-makers and partner
organisations so that people are able to choose
healthier, cleaner and cheaper journeys, with better
places and spaces to move through and live in.
Three years ago, we entered into a new,
strengthened relationship with the Scottish
Government. Since then, we’ve worked in
partnership to improve conditions for people
travelling across the whole of the country, putting
our energy into practical projects that make a real
difference.
This partnership work is making a major contribution
to the shared Cycling Action Plan for Scotland vision
of 10% of all everyday journeys to be made by bike
by 2020. It is helping the Scottish Government meet
its policy aims and objectives - to tackle inequalities,
improve health, reduce carbon emissions and create
safer, friendlier places for the people of Scotland.
This report tells the story of our progress over
the last three years between 2012 and 2015, and
celebrates the diverse ways that Sustrans Scotland
has enriched people’s lives.

In 2015, Sustrans Scotland continues to be at the forefront of work to enable people to travel in
ways that benefit their health and our environment in Scotland.
We’re proud of the progress we’ve made over the last three years, almost all of which we have delivered
in partnership with the Scottish Government and local government. We’ve strengthened our partnerships
with key stakeholders, including regional transport partnerships, public transport operators, schools,
businesses, voluntary sector organisations and, crucially, the people of Scotland.
This partnership work is allowing the people of Scotland to choose healthier, cleaner, more affordable
and more sustainable journeys every day. This is shown by the evidence that we gather annually and the
stories we hear from the people we’ve worked with, some of whom you will read about over the following
pages.
The funding we deliver on behalf of Transport Scotland has allowed us to work closely with our partners to
make better travel choices possible and desirable. For example, through our Community Links programme
we’re successfully creating spaces that make it safer, easier and more pleasant for people to walk and
cycle all across Scotland.
We’ve continued to develop the National Cycle Network, now in its twentieth year. Today the Network
stands out as a significant asset for Scotland. Not only does it give people improved travel choices,
enabling them to leave their cars behind, it also makes a huge economic contribution to Scotland. Last
year the Network hosted over 120 million journeys – more than ever – with the health and tourism benefits
alone calculated at £696 million pounds.
Our work goes far beyond routes and pathways. We’re working with Scotland’s schools, colleges,
universities and workplaces to give people the skills and information they need to walk, bike or use public
transport more often. Our I Bike project now provides school pupils in nine local authority areas with the
skills and resources they need to cycle, walk and scoot to school. Our workplace Active Travel Champions
project provides volunteers with training and support to promote walking and cycling to their colleagues
and communities.
We recognise the pressure that public finances are under. However, we also know that the health and
wellbeing of Scotland’s people is key for a resilient, sustainable economy and a more cohesive society.
Our work is providing high-value, low-cost solutions to some of the biggest challenges facing Scotland.
We believe that the Scottish Government is right to place greater emphasis on, and dedicate increased
funding to, healthier and less polluting ways of getting around. We hope to see the leadership the Scottish
Government has shown continue, and momentum build in the years ahead.
This review gives us the chance to reflect on what we’ve achieved, with clear Government support for
healthy travel and a positive policy landscape, in a relatively short period of time.
There is still much more to do, but together we’re moving forward.

Over the past three years, we’ve enabled thousands of children
to walk, cycle and scoot the school run.
Our work in Scotland’s schools is giving children the skills and
confidence to travel to and from school safely under their own steam,
and giving their parents the confidence to let them. We involve the
whole school community – children, teachers and parents – to create
a culture of walking and cycling, helping to reduce the number of
people driving to school and making the streets around our schools
safer for everyone.
Our schools officers have provided intensive support to over 170
schools in Scotland. We recognise that every school is different and
provide a tailored programme of activity for each school, from skills
coaching and bike breakfasts, to competitions and family cycling
events.
In doing this, we’ve built up a huge amount of knowledge and
expertise in the simple things that schools can do to make a
difference. We’ve given teachers the practical tools to create a legacy
that will last for many years, as well as giving children the life skills
that will help to keep them safe and fit throughout their lives.
Alongside one-to-one support, we’ve provided a wealth of free
classroom resources, events and guidance to help every school in
Scotland get children mobile, fit and active. This work contributes to
an amazing 80% of Scottish schools now having or working towards
a school travel plan full of practical measures to increase healthy
travel to and from school.
We’ve distributed grant funding on behalf of Transport Scotland to
help create safer pedestrian crossings, cycle paths, pavements and
other improvements around 25 schools.
We run The Big Pedal, the UK’s largest inter-school cycling and
scooting challenge. Now in its fifth year, the event grows bigger and
more popular every year. During the 2015 challenge, 39,030 pupils in
222 Scottish schools made 128,647 journeys by bike or scooter.
We also help policy-makers understand levels and trends of how
Scottish children travel to school. For the past seven years, we’ve
organised the largest national survey, the Hands Up Scotland Survey,
looking at school travel in Scotland. Last year, over half a million
school and nursery children took part, and the survey showed that
over 50% of them were choosing to walk, cycle, scoot or skate to
school.

Chris Topping works jointly for NHS
Dumfries and Galloway and Dumfries
and Galloway Council. Chris and Sustrans
Scotland have been working together for the
past three years to promote public health by
encouraging children to be more physically
active, through Sustrans’ I Bike programme.
“DG Health and Wellbeing and partners decided
to start working with Sustrans on the I Bike
project for two main reasons – to provide
opportunities for girls to be more physically
active and to tackle the drop in physical activity
when children and young people move from
primary to secondary school. We identified these
as priority areas in Dumfries and Galloway.
What we especially like about I Bike is that it’s
a long term approach. It helps school staff and
the wider school community to build their own
skills to carry on the work of the project, and
supports everyone – parents and teachers as
well as the children and young people – to be
more active. Plus it complements the Curriculum
for Excellence for schools.
Sustrans Scotland is very committed to meeting
our local needs in Dumfries and Galloway. So
now it’s not just I Bike, we partner with them in
lots of different ways to improve health. They’re
a very good partner to work with.”
- Chris Topping, Health and Wellbeing
Specialist, DG Health and Wellbeing
Our local school officer has been helping the children at Pathhead Primary School in Kirkcaldy get
active and healthy. Alongside this work, we’ve partnered with Fife Council to redesign the streets around
the primary school, enhance and extend the network of local paths, and rolled out a programme of fun
family events across Kirkcaldy to get the whole town walking and cycling more.
Tracy Conroy, whose son Ross is a pupil at the school, tells the story:
“Anything sporty and Ross wants to put his name forward, so when the opportunity came to join the
‘Bike Crew’ at school, Ross jumped at it.
The children have learnt how to do loads of different things. For example, Ross can now check his
bike over, fix a puncture, and put the chain back on if it comes off, so I know he’s confident and safe
on his bike when he goes out with his friends.
They’ve made the roads around the school much more child-friendly, too. It was quite dangerous
before. Now the pavements are wider, and the parents feel it’s safer for their kids to cycle to school.
There are also new bike sheds, which encourages the children to put their bikes away safely, and
keeps the bikes safe and sheltered while the children are in school.
We’re really lucky in Kirkcaldy. They’ve done loads of work to make proper cycle paths. Now you feel
safer when cycling, especially with a young child. At the weekend, we cycle to Kirkcaldy Prom or the
park. It means spending time together doing something we both enjoy, and it keeps both of us fit and
healthy. The project is showing all the kids a healthy lifestyle, and starting them young. It’s great!”

We’ve connected hundreds of communities across Scotland
through our network of paths and safer streets.
We’re making it easier and safer for people to walk and cycle for
everyday journeys between their homes, jobs, schools, shops and
friends. With the support of the Scottish Government and all 32 local
authorities, we’ve delivered over 500 projects to create and improve
local cycle paths and walking links.
We’ve created safer, friendlier streets. In Scottish towns like Dumfries,
Dunblane and Elgin, we’ve worked in partnership with local residents to
redesign their streets. By introducing relatively simple, inexpensive and
innovative changes, we’ve cut speeding, created places for children to
play, and helped neighbourhoods feel safer and better connected.
Forty-one percent of the Scottish population now lives within a third of
a mile of the National Cycle Network. Despite its name, the Network is
also popular with people walking, jogging, using wheelchairs or mobility
scooters and horse-riders. Every day, the Network is used by people
looking for an alternative to using the car.
Our cycle maps and signs have encouraged many thousands of
people to walk and cycle. Over the past three years we’ve distributed
over 40,000 maps of the Scottish National Cycle Network routes.
Our distinctive blue National Cycle Network signs raise awareness of
walking and cycling routes, giving people the confidence to use the
Network.
Our volunteers have vastly increased the scale and scope of what we’ve
achieved. They’ve helped us to keep the National Cycle Network well
cared for, they’ve promoted cycling in schools and workplaces, they’ve
organised walks and fun-rides, and they’ve helped to raise funds for our
work all across Scotland.

Elaine Robertson is a Councillor in Oban North
and Lorn, in Argyll and Bute. For the past twelve
years she’s been actively supporting us to create
a new cycle route, the Caledonia Way, which runs
through her community.
“The cycle path has connected our communities
in a sustainable way. It’s allowing children to get to
school safely, as there are few pavements in this rural
area. It’s well used by families out walking, people on
horses, and local residents cycling between the local
villages. It’s wonderful to see how it’s progressed
in recent years. I’ve heard nothing but support for
the cycle path; it’s been warmly welcomed by local
people and the community councils.”
- Elaine Robertson, Councillor, Argyll and Bute
Over the past three years, we’ve been working intensively in the Central Belt to create a joinedup network of walking and cycling routes. Christine Bell is one of the people we partner with. She
coordinates the Communities Along the Carron Association (CATCA) near Falkirk – a group of volunteers
committed to the regeneration of the River Carron, its communities and adjacent land.
Christine explains more:
“We decided to start regenerating the River Carron in 2008. The River Carron is the main reason the
communities exist in this area due to the worldwide significance of the former Carron Iron Works. We
consulted with all 16 communities along the river. Many commented that they saw how the canal had
been regenerated and thought that the river had even more potential.
After cleaning up the river, our second priority was to make it more accessible and connect our
communities together. There weren’t any good links along the river, just lots of sporadic paths which
needed joined up and signposted.
Sustrans has made these connections a reality. Now we have a really good network and use of the
river as a recreational and commuter route has exploded. The new paths and bridges along the river
are amazing. They feel friendlier and safer, they look great, and, because they’ve been built to a really
high specification, they’re open to people of all abilities – mums with buggies use the new bridge to
get to the shops, and people at the Forth Valley Hospital can use the path network to get out and
about.
We have a really close relationship with Sustrans now. Sustrans is working in our local schools to
get the school kids cycling, and involve local businesses too. Together with the new paths, it’s all
encouraging more people to get outside, explore their community, and be more active and healthy.
There’s still more to do. The potential is huge. We’re planning to build a new bridge at Carronshore
and eventually we want to create a huge circular walking and cycling route along the river and
canal. It’s so important to connect local people together and bring visitors right into the heart of our
communities. By creating green networks along our watercourses we can help communities to benefit
from the richness and beauty of these diverse landscapes, encourage people to be more active, and
help the environment too.”

We’ve made the commute to work a happier, healthier experience,
and our major investment in cycling and walking infrastructure
across Scotland has created and sustained jobs.
We’ve provided volunteers across the country with training and
support to promote healthy travel choices to their colleagues and
communities. Our Active Travel Champions have made an estimated
13,000 contacts with employees and students in Edinburgh,
encouraging them to commute on foot, by bike or using public
transport. We’ve supported businesses including the Royal Bank of
Scotland, Tesco Bank and Carillion, while more than 22 workplaces
have now adopted their own action plans to promote healthier
journeys to work.
Not only is this making the commute a more pleasant experience, it’s
also increasing productivity and reducing the number of sick days
taken. An added bonus is reduced traffic congestion and associated
pollution, and reduced competition or need for costly car parking
spaces.
In 2014, we joined with Transport Scotland and Cycling Scotland
in a partnership to provide cycle parking for the Glasgow 2014
Commonwealth Games. As part of the Games’ legacy, we distributed
the cycle parking to workplaces across Scotland for re-use.
We’ve created walking and cycling routes to make journeys to work
easier. Nationally, 15% of journeys on the National Cycle Network are
now for commuting. We recently completed a national programme to
create safe, traffic-free crossings of busy roads, railways and rivers.
For example, in partnership with the Big Lottery Fund, Glasgow
City Council and Transport Scotland, we’ve completed the ‘Bridge
to Nowhere’ in Glasgow. The bridge had been left unfinished, and
literally hanging in mid-air since the 1970s after the shopping centre
that it was supposed to link to failed to materialise. The Bridge to
Everywhere now forms a vital link between the city centre and the
west of the city.
New and improved walking and cycling routes bring more people
into an area, and it’s been shown that people on foot and bike spend
almost a third more in local shops than those who drive. They create
new business opportunities and contribute many millions of pounds to
the economy through leisure and tourism.
We’re attracting more people into our town centres by making them
more people friendly. In towns such as Dumfries and Dunblane, we’ve
been working hand in hand with residents and businesses to improve
access by people walking and cycling.

Chris Ball runs ‘Dirt School’, a cycle training
company based at Glentress in the Scottish
Borders. He’s witnessed direct benefits to his
business and the local economy since the Tweed
Valley cycle path was completed.
“The bike path gives a really nice and safe route
between the local towns of Peebles and Innerleithen.
It’s amazing to see how many people are using it.
You get commuters, families, beginners and kids,
all the way up to professional international athletes.
We recently held the Enduro World Series mountain
biking competition here, and the path was absolutely
key to making this event happen. I use it all the time
for my own business, to move riders between the
mountain bike centres. And you see loads of tourists
using the path. It’s a major selling point for this area.”

Eight years ago we set out, in partnership with Transport Scotland and others, to build a spectacular new
cycling and walking route between Oban and Fort William. The route, the majority of which is traffic-free,
is almost complete, and it’s already having a positive impact on local businesses through an increase
in the number of people who are visiting the area. Part of the route uses the Camusnagaul passenger
ferry between Fort William and Camusnagaul on the Moidart peninsula.
Dougie Robertson, who runs the ferry, explains:
“I took over management of the Camusnagaul ferry three years ago. I saw there was a missed
opportunity to increase the number of crossings on that route, so when the service came up for
tender I jumped at the chance.
The amount of business we get from cyclists and walkers is increasing every year. They make up
most of my passengers now, especially during the summer season, when I have at least ten bikes on
the boat every day.
You get a wee bit of everything – families, children, babies and backpackers. People come from all
over Europe to cycle and walk in this area. We’re starting to see lots of bigger groups of cyclists too,
and a lot of people doing charity bike ride events.
I’d definitely like to think about buying a second boat. It would be nice if we had a small landing craft
that passengers could easily wheel their bikes on and off. It would also help us meet high demand in
the summer, so we could get people across the loch more quickly.”

We work with many others to share our knowledge and expertise
and extend the impact of our work.
This report has already touched on a few of the partnerships that
we’ve been involved in over the last three years. As well as schools,
communities and businesses, we’ve worked with countless other
partners to support walking, cycling and public transport. The variety
and extent of our many partnerships demonstrates the widespread
support for smarter travel choices throughout Scotland.
Our close working relationships with organisations such as NHS
Health Scotland, Scotland’s Towns Partnership and Architecture and
Design Scotland have been crucial to the success of our work. They’ve
provided us with invaluable insight into the design of our programmes,
to ensure we’re as effective as we possibly can be, and are helping us
broaden awareness of walking and cycling in Government policy.
Our in-depth partnerships with local authorities and regional transport
partnerships have helped to put walking, cycling and public transport
at the heart of local and regional planning. Working together, we’ve built
new walking and cycle paths, encouraged local communities to be more
active and brought active travel up the political agenda.
Our many partnerships with the organisations that protect and conserve
Scotland’s wonderful natural heritage are making it easier for everyone
to enjoy the great outdoors. Together with the Cairngorms National
Park Authority, we launched the Cairngorms Electric Bicycle Network
to provide accessible, affordable, low carbon access to the Park for
visitors by bike. In partnership with Scottish Natural Heritage and
others, we helped build sections of the iconic John Muir Way and sign
it from end to end. The John Muir Way has opened up some of central
Scotland’s finest landscapes for people to enjoy.
We upgraded the towpath from the Falkirk Wheel to the Kelpies,
alongside the network within the Helix. We did this working alongside
Scottish Canals and Falkirk Council to make travelling between three of
Scotland’s top visitor attractions easy by foot, bike or scooter.
We’re helping to create a better, more joined-up transport system for
Scotland. Over the past three years, we’ve formed strong partnerships
with public transport operators, such as ScotRail and Calmac, to
improve public transport services, timetables and infrastructure and
integrate better with people walking and biking, offering even more
choice for those who want to leave the car at home.
We’re also working alongside a host of other local and national walking,
cycling and environmental charities to promote our joint message for a
stronger, healthier, greener Scotland.

Dr Bob McLellan is Head of
Transportation and Environment
at Fife Council. In recent years the
Council and Sustrans Scotland have
worked in partnership all over Fife to
encourage people to walk and cycle
more. Projects such as Make Your
Move Kirkcaldy, Cycle Dunfermline
and Cycle Glenrothes are re-designing
streets, making roads, parks and
paths more cycle friendly, and
providing more secure cycle parking.
In Dunfermline and Glenrothes, the
projects are also supplying bikes
and training primary school children
as part of the physical education
curriculum. Dr McLellan explains:
“Developing a successful partnership
with Sustrans has allowed Fife Council to
significantly improve the cycle network
and improve the cycling confidence
and ability of many children. We hope
it will encourage children to get out on
their bikes more often. It’s been a great
collaborative relationship between Fife
Council Services, Sustrans and Cycling
Scotland.”

The City of Edinburgh Council has a bold vision for cycling… for it to be ordinary – a genuinely
mainstream form of transport that people use everyday.
Phil Noble, Senior Professional Officer in the City of Edinburgh Council’s Transport Service, explains:
“The Council has worked with Sustrans for a long time, but our really close working relationship
began in 2010 when they helped prepare the city’s Active Travel Action Plan. Since then, we’ve had
a member of Sustrans staff embedded in our transport team. This has been really helpful in taking
our plans forward and has helped us to keep abreast of developments in best practice relating to
sustainable and active travel.
Our partnership with Sustrans gives real benefits to both organisations. Having an embedded member
of Sustrans staff enables us to connect easily into Sustrans’ unique resource of specialist knowledge.
Sustrans has a clear purpose and ethos and a highly motivated group of staff, which means you know
you’ll always get positive input. I think the relationship has also helped Sustrans, particularly in gaining
a close insight into the challenges of practical delivery in a city.
Sustrans is helping us implement a long-term strategy for cycling in Edinburgh. We’re working
together to create a joined-up network of routes. What we’re trying to do is cater to the needs of a
large number of people who would like to cycle but are put off by busy main roads. We want to help
these people to start cycling as an everyday form of travel.
We’ve been working in a really productive partnership on the design of some major changes for
Edinburgh’s streets. Perhaps the best example to date is Leith Walk, where we are part way through
delivering a project which we hope will provide a much friendlier street for cyclists and pedestrians.
We’re also working together to creatively involve communities in street design.
Keeping the momentum going on active travel, particularly to transform cycling from a minority form
of travel to the mainstream, is a vital part of our transport strategy and Sustrans Scotland is a key
partner in our efforts.”

Over the coming years, we’ll continue to work in partnership across all sectors of society, and in
every community, to make journeys by foot, bicycle and public transport easier, safer and simpler,
and to help create vibrant, well-designed communities.
By 2020, we want to see 80% of all journeys of less than five miles being made by walking, cycling or
public transport. This will be a major challenge as currently 55% of these short journeys are made by car.
We’re committed to supporting delivery of essential Government policies. As well as the Cycling Action
Plan for Scotland, the National Planning Framework and the National Walking Strategy, we’ll help to
implement the Physical Activity Implementation Plan and the Long-Term Vision for Active Travel in
Scotland 2030.
We’ll create more great urban spaces, where being active every day is easy. We’ll continue to invest in
projects that create and improve local cycle paths and walking links. And our award-winning street design
work will continue to transform streets and neighbourhoods into people-friendly spaces.
We’ll ensure that our work continues to grow national and local economies. We’ll continue to deliver our
innovative projects which make our town centres more successful, vibrant places where people want to
spend time and money. We’ll also continue to expand walking and cycling routes that unlock the huge
economic potential of leisure and cycle tourism in Scotland.
We’ll give even more children the confidence and skills to walk, bike and scoot to and from school and
beyond. We currently partner with schools in nine local authorities across Scotland. We’ll be looking to
build on this base, with a view to rolling out our schools partnership programme across the country.
We’ll continue to extend the National Cycle Network, connecting many more communities and allowing
everyone in Scotland the opportunity to walk and bike safely from their front door. Alongside Scottish
Natural Heritage and Scottish Canals, we’ll be leading development of the National Long Distance
Walking and Cycling Network, which will build on existing networks of paths and trails by closing key
gaps, upgrading connecting routes, encouraging multi-use of paths and integrating with public transport
services.
We’ll continue to support Scotland’s communities and workplaces to increase their levels of physical
activity and improve the health of the nation. There’s still much do to, particularly when it comes to
tackling health inequalities. We recognise that the causes of health inequalities are complex and that the
action needed to address them is wide-ranging. Looking ahead, we’ll be redoubling our efforts to tackle
health inequalities in our work with communities across Scotland.
