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.

Please see downloads under Supporting documents for the full Pedalling Ahead Cycling Strategy document and the Summary Leaflet.

In short, Pedalling Ahead describes how we intend to:

• make cycling more attractive;
• promote cycling as a normal and acceptable behaviour in West Sussex;
• provide cycle networks, including the National Cycle Network, to increase safety for cyclists;
• promote the health benefits of cycling;
• work with organisations such as public transport operators to improve integration between modes of transport, increasing choice;
• develop more Safer Routes to School initiatives;
• ensure that new developments promote cycling and are all accessible by bicycle;
• promote cycling as part of the TravelWise initiative and travel plan development;
• promote road user safety; and
• reduce road casualties.
