Monitoring and review
Progress will be measured using the indicators in the Active Travel Outcomes Framework, published in 2019 (reproduced below), which feed in to the National Performance Framework. Identifying how a proposal will meet these outcomes will be a crucial part of the decision making process for allocating the active travel budget. The Active Travel Outcomes Framework will be regularly reviewed to make sure the data we collect best captures the progress we are making.
The Delivery Plan will be reviewed in 2026 and again in 2030 to measure progress and refresh the actions. A review of findings will be produced.
