"Poor transport untethers people from their communities and entrenches regional inequality. The impacts are wide reaching and profound. They reverberate across geography, generation and socio-economic class.
"The biggest impact, however, is what we’re NOT doing. We are losing the battle against inactivity. Transport has a key role to play in countering this trend. Our current transport system bakes in sedentary living, yet active travel (including at the start and end of each public transport trip) makes movement an intrinsic part of our day-to-day lives, thereby unlocking the monumental benefits of increased physical activity.
