CWIS active travel investment models: model structure and evidence base The main report explains the structure of three Cycling and Walking Investment Strategy active travel investment models, for cycling, walking, and walking to school.
Active travel means making journeys by physically active means, like walking or cycling. The Cycling and Walking Investment Strategy, published in 2017, is the Government's strategy to promote walking and cycling in England. Given active travel is a devolved policy area, this briefing relates primarily to active travel policies in England.

The investment has increased cycling volumes by between 12-69% between 2012-175. The £50 million Bikeability training programme has helped hundreds of thousands of school children per year to cycle safely and with confidence on England's roads. 2018/19 was a record year with 411,000 school children trained.
This low level of investment in active travel is despite the often excellent value for money of many active travel schemes. Cycling UK has cited Government estimates of the benefit-to-cost ratios (BCR) for active travel investment ranging from around 5:1 to 13:1. 134 The DfT categorises improvements with a benefit cost ratio of above 4.0 as ...

The purpose of the evidence review was to inform the development of the Active Travel Investment Models. A separate Technical Appendix 5 'Compendium of interventions' provides evidence on the impacts and the range of costs per unit of uplift in cycling and walking for each individual intervention. This review drew on the following sources:
