ACTIVE TRAVEL CHALLENGE

Almost 900 people took part in the 2022 Active Travel Challenge and logged around 15K journeys during the month of June. 

The joint initiative is rolled out annually by Sustrans, Translink, Department for Infrastructure, Public Health Agency, Belfast and Western Health Trusts, Belfast City Council and Derry City and Strabane Council. 

People from workplaces across Northern Ireland came together to switch the car for a more active way of travel for one month, to help drive behavioural change going forward. Throughout June, more than 9,000kg of CO2 was saved and those who took part saved £10k in fuel costs as they swapped the car for public transport, biking, walking and even scooting.
