More than two thirds of people in GM say they would walk and cycle more if they felt safer, which is especially true of women and girls.
Welcome to episode 3 of series 3 of The GM Moving Podcast. This is our Right to the Streets series where we invite you to join the conversation about what makes our streets, parks, and public spaces joyful, welcoming places.
In this episode, we head to Old Trafford on a walkabout workshop with our project partners Open Data Manchester to hear from members of the community about their experiences of walking, wheeling and cycling in the local area.
We're also joined by Active Travel Commissioner, Dame Sarah Storey, and Transport Commissioner for Greater Manchester, Vernon Everitt, as we explore active travel (meaning all journeys that are walked, wheeled or cycled to include people traveling by wheelchair, scooter, pushchair, e-bike and other mobility aids) and the links between active travel and trips by public transport, as we seek to make journeys to and from bus, tram and train stops safer and more inviting for all.
