Active mobility

Active mobility (often called "Active Travel" or "Active Transportation" in the United States ) is an approach to travel and transport that focuses on physical activity (walking and cycling) as opposed to motorised and carbon-dependent means. In the United Kingdom, for example, over 50% of car journeys are under 5 km. Motor car journeys can therefore be easily replaced with more active forms of travel. This practice offers multiple benefits of increasing health and levels of physical fitness and reducing rates of obesity, whilst reducing the consumption of fossil fuels and consequent particulates, Nitrous Oxide and Carbon emissions.
