Safe travel

We want our children and young people to be develop independence and to be able to travel around Leeds by themselves as they grow up. But it must be safe for them to do so.

Leeds is working hard to make this true. Initiatives such as Vision 0, Road Safety lessons delivered and Safe Zones in stations in the city centre.

Easy travel

What does easy travel really mean? Well, imagine the things that make a journey easy…

If you were going by bus, the bus would turn up on time. It would be affordable and it would be accessible, for example if you need a seat there would be a place to sit. If you are a wheelchair user, it would be easy for you to board the bus.

If you were travelling by bike, you would have a simple route using cycle lanes with smooth surfaces and you would have a safe place to leave your bike when you arrive.

Sustainable travel

Sustainable travel can mean making active travel choices. So, instead of travelling by car, walking or cycling. These active travel choices are also beneficial to our health by getting us up and moving more.

Of course, public transport is also more sustainable than taking a private car, as the carbon footprint is being shared across multiple people using the train or bus.
