How cycling and walking can save NHS and Treasury |
|
|
Research published by sustainable transport charity Sustrans has shown
the economic benefits of a number of local walking and cycling
schemes demonstrate that every £1 spent on a route generates a
benefit worth £20. This is compared to the slimmer average return
of other transport schemes such as rail and roads, which is typically
£3 for every £1 spent. Sustrans used the same appraisal process
applied to road schemes, and found that cycling and walking schemes are
far better value for money.
