West Sussex County Council: Cycling Strategy

Welcome to the Highways and Transport, third edition, of the Cycling Strategy – ‘Pedalling Ahead’, which forms part of the West Sussex Transport Plan (WSTP) 2006.

The WSTP sets out the following key transport objectives for the whole county, the Cycling Strategy sets out to ensure that we work towards these objectives and that cycling is promoted as a realistic alternative to motor transport.
