Active Travel National Indicator

As part of Scotland’s National Performance Framework there is a ‘journeys by active travel’ National Indicator, which monitors the proportion of short journeys that are made by the two main active travel modes: walking and cycling.

46.2% of journeys under two miles were on foot in 2022. [Table 4c and Figure 25] This compares to 47.6% in 2019. This difference is not statistically significant at the 95% level.

2.1% of journeys under five miles were by bicycle. This figure compares to 1.7% in 2019. This difference is also not significant at the 95% level.
