Cycling and walking investment strategy announced
The Department for Transport has announced the publication of its timetable for the development of the first cycling and walking investment strategy (CWIS).
Under the Infrastructure Act 2015, the government is required to set a cycling and walking investment strategy (CWIS) for England. The ‘Setting the First Cycling and Walking Investment Strategy’ document outlines the timetable and approach for developing the first CWIS in 2016.
The CWIS will set out a long-term vision for walking and cycling to 2040. At the heart of the development of the CWIS is a desire for walking and cycling to become the norm for short journey or as part of a longer journey. This vision will be progressed through a series of shorter term, five year strategies.
