This literature review was undertaken in 2017 to advise the next stage of the ‘Go Golborne’ project based around promoting active travel. The aim of this literature review was to identify the national and local policy on promoting active travel and to review the evidence of interventions that have taken place at a local level. In this review active travel is referring to making journeys by physically active means, for example by walking or cycling. The review focuses on increasing active travel in children (0-18) and families.
