Mosquito Way, Hatfield, Hertfordshire, AL10 9UF
Join fellow walking and cycling experts, campaigners, planners, engineers, businesses, BIDs, educational establishments, and community champions to discuss how we can enable more people to walk and cycle more often more safely in Hertfordshire. This event forms part of Hertfordshire’s public engagement on the new Active Travel Strategy as we journey forward into a safer, cleaner and greener future.
About the event
This event is part of Hertfordshire’s public engagement on the new Active Travel Strategy. The programme will present how as an authority we plan to increase the numbers of people walking and cycling in the County, and this event allows officers and Members to hear from the key stakeholders across the county your views on our proposals and other suggestions on how to achieve our objectives of getting more people to use active modes for short journeys.
With a Cargo bike demonstration zone, market area, delegates will also have the opportunity to see the tools, talk to the organisations and try the bikes and trikes that can help the County get more active.
Why attend?
The role and good practice of deploying a package of measures to enable and encourage more people to walk, wheel and cycling in Hertfordshire.
Including: cycle training, infrastructure identification and design, behaviour change, policy, community engagement and journeys to school.
There are a range of workshops planned to allow detailed discussion about deployment of new approaches, technologies and programmes in Hertfordshire.
Network with other stakeholders interested in how Hertfordshire, as a Shire County, with both rural and urban areas, can achieve more people walking and cycling, more often, more safely.
