Scotland
Go to online mappingSustrans is working hard throughout Scotland to enable many more children to walk and cycle to school with our Tackling the School Run programme of work. We very actively work with schools and children to give them the right space and skills to travel under their own steam to school. We also work with a range of partners to enable them to work in this area, and create a holistic approach to enabling children to walk or cycle the school run.
Our Active Travel team is working directly with people who would like to be more active in their daily lives, to enable them to discover or re-discover the joy of walking and cycling in their local area, to the benefit of their health and our environment.
The National Cycle Network continues to expand and grow in Scotland, and we are commissioning artists to work with us to create artworks that will make new routes memorable as well as adding to the wider collection of public art Sustrans has developed over the years. Details of routes being developed can be found in our route development pages, and rides can be found in the easy rides section. You can also find all sorts of rides at Routes2Ride Scotland website.
Sustrans Scotland saw completion of the first of the Connect2 schemes being developed UK-wide, but there are more still to come. When complete these will create new crossings of busy roads and rivers, linking in to new and improved networks of walking and cycling routes, connecting people to the places they want to reach by foot and bike.
Sustrans Volunteer Rangers are very active throughout Scotland, helping us to look after and promote the National Cycle Network, and we also benefit from the vital support of volunteers helping with delivery of a range of our work. You can find out more about the opportunities on our volunteering pages.
