Overview
This toolkit presents a compendium of policy options for walking and cycling, highlighting the multiple benefits that promoting and enabling safe walking and cycling for recreation and transport can bring to individuals, communities, the environment, and the economy. It outlines seven strategic policy options for countries to consider implementing that collectively aim to enable safer walking and cycling for people of all ages and abilities, and to support maintaining and/or increasing levels of walking and cycling either for transport or active recreation in countries worldwide. Case studies are included to showcase real-world examples of how these policy options are being successfully put into practice.
