Sustrans

Sustrans Scotland provides advice, support and funding that makes it easier for people to walk and cycle for everyday journeys.

We work to ensure that the benefits of walking and cycling are enjoyed by everyone.

The benefits of walking, cycling, wheeling and healthy places aren’t experienced in the same way by everyone. We prioritise work with people and in places that challenge this.

We involve people with different and seldom-heard voices, to develop solutions that work for everyone.

We keep questioning and asking if we can do more. We know we can’t do this on our own so we work closely with others.

As custodians of the National Cycle Network in Scotland, Sustrans Scotland have teamed up with Alloa to showcase the benefits of active travel in a new video.

Identifiable by its iconic blue and red signage, the National Cycle Network is the backbone of Scotland’s active travel network, connecting communities across a series of routes used regularly for nipping to the shops, walking the dog, getting to school and more.

Walking, wheeling and cycling for more our everyday journeys not only improves our health and protects the environment, but also helps support local economies.

In this video, Val from the Alloa Hub shares her story.
