Sustrans is the UK's
leading sustainable transport charity. Its vision is a world in which people
choose to travel in ways that benefit their health and the environment. It
is achieving this through innovative but practical solutions to the UK's
transport challenges.
Sustrans is the
charity behind the National Cycle Network, Safe Routes to Schools and many
other projects that deliver lasting changes in people's travel behaviour.
In September 2005
the National Cycle Network celebrated its first ten years and ten thousand
miles. The Network now runs within one mile of over half the UK population
and last year was used for 232 million trips. A team of 2,000 Volunteer
Rangers helps to maintain the Network.
