📈🚴 Recent analysis of national cycle counter data shows 24 locations across Scotland recording increases of above 30% in cycle journeys in June 2024 vs 2023. More evidence of investment in safe cycle networks supporting increases in cycling: orlo.uk/9wBy9

Transport is Scotland's largest polluting sector, with road travel (passenger cars and freight) accounting for over 70% of total transport emissions. To meet our #climate targets we must see: 🚗➡️🚍 a shift to public transport 🚛➡️🛤️ rail carry a larger share of freight
Our latest Scottish Transport Statistics, covering 2022, show: 🔹 396 million #PublicTransport journeys, up from 294 million in 2021 🔹 An increase in #Bus, #Train and #Ferry journeys 🔹 #Cycling journeys up by 16% from pre-COVID-19 figures Read more ➡️ bit.ly/3PEGLeS
A look at the brand new #CCWEL in Edinburgh: already having a big impact by making it easier & safer to cycle into the centre from the city's west end. We need more protected infrastructure like this across Scotland, to help more people travel by bike safely and with confidence.
Our heartfelt condolences to the families and friends of loved ones killed on Scotland's roads. It's been tragically clear for far too long that large vehicles pose a fundamental risk to people walking or cycling. 1/3
It's no quicker to fly between London and Edinburgh than take the train, and the CO2 savings are immense: 165kg by air, 12.5kg by train. We're asking the UK gov to remove flight routes with a 4.5 hr train alternative. Please sign 👉 petition.parliament.uk/petitions/6499…

1/2 It’s been tragically clear for too long that large vehicles pose a fundamental risk to people walking, wheeling and cycling. It's the role of national and local Government to lead on reducing these risks.
🚲👇 Hugely encouraging data from cycle counters in Edinburgh, which have picked up a year-on-year rise in people travelling by bikes along Leith Walk. With us just a few months into 2024, it'll be exciting to watch this growth continue in the year ahead!
Looks like the Leith Walk cycle lanes have had a pretty dramatic impact on the number of cyclists passing past the Omni Centre 👀 Thanks to @CyclingScotland for the automatic data collection.

🆕 Did you know that access to reliable, affordable and safe transport plays a vital role in our health and wellbeing? We’ve published a new briefing exploring transport poverty and how it can impact quality of life ⬇️ publichealthscotland.scot/news/2024/janu…
New TfL study & map on road danger inequalities: 30% of people in most deprived home postcodes have near 2x risk of least deprived 30%. We need to do far far better on making roads safe for everyone. And this is a real social justice issue. tfl.gov.uk/corporate/publ…
Did you know? Replacing flights with rail on the UK's two busiest air routes would save 1.75million tonnes CO2 per year. Sign our petition for the government to remove air routes where there's a direct rail link of 4.5 hrs or less: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/6499…
If you want to understand how much, as a society, we’ve slowly normalised road danger, watch this clip from tonight’s BBC News at Six. I personally don’t think horrific crashes like this should be in the light-hearted “and finally” section.
