Sustrans stands for Sustainable Transport. It works through practical projects - such as the national Cycle Network and Safe Routes to Schools - to design and build routes for cyclists and walkers. These routes provide for journeys to work, to school and for leisure. Sustrans believes our environment and quality of life can be immensely improved by a shift to more sustainable transport policies, and less dependence on the motor car.
