Paper One - Active Travel

This document contains an update for members of the Cairngorms Local Outdoor Access Forum (LOAF) regarding active travel initiatives in the Cairngorms National Park. Prepared by Colin Simpson, Head of Visitor Services and Active Travel, the document outlines the background and strategic context of the Cairngorms 2030 programme, which focuses on sustainable transport and reducing car use. It details park-wide projects like developing an active travel network plan and an e-bike project, as well as location-specific projects in various communities to improve infrastructure for walking, cycling, and wheelchair access. The document also describes current activities, including public engagement sessions, and seeks advice on how the LOAF can maximize its involvement in these consultations, given their knowledge and experience.
