Making Connections - HITRANS Active Travel Networking Event

Making connections - HITRANS active travel networking event

Come join us for a day of networking at our event in Moray! HITRANS is hosting a gathering at the Alexander Graham Bell Centre within UHI Moray, where you can meet with others working in the active travel and public transport sector to share ideas, and build connections. This event is the perfect opportunity to expand your network and learn from others.

Info: This presentation will discuss why transport is important for public health and the work of the Public Health and Sustainable Transport Partnership. This will include the partnership’s health impact assessment of road space reallocation and its work to highlight the dimensions of transport poverty.

Info: This talk will explore how planning can support healthier, more connected communities through the promotion of active travel. It will examine the role of the Local Development Plan and Quality Audit processes and highlight how community-led and collaborative approaches can help shape active travel networks and improve local connectivity. Drawing on practical examples and lessons learned, the presentation will reflect on the opportunities and challenges of delivering developments that support active travel and create healthier places across Moray.

Info: Partnership Working and Transition to Long-Term Delivery. This presentation will explore the transition of the Moray Active Travel Hub from a Cycling UK project to a long-term service delivered by Moray Council. It will highlight the partnership approach that has supported this transition and showcase how the Hub works with communities, schools, businesses, voluntary organisations and public sector partners to encourage walking, wheeling and cycling. Through a range of activities, services and engagement programmes, the Hub helps remove barriers to active travel, supports behaviour change and enables more people to make healthier and more sustainable travel choices for everyday journeys, commuting and leisure.

Info: Outfit Moray is a local, young people’s outdoor adventure charity. The Bike Revolution schools project has been evolving for 9 years. Along with HITRANS and many other partners, Outfit Moray now run a successful, progressive all schools inclusive cycle project with the aim of making Active Travellers of the future.
