Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what recent assessment he has made of whether he will meet his target to increase the proportion of short journeys that are walked or cycled in towns and cities to 46% by 2025.

The Government’s most recent assessment of this was set out in the Cycling and Walking Investment Strategy report to Parliament in July 2022, a copy of which is available in the House Libraries. The Department will provide an updated assessment in its next report to Parliament in due course.
