Active travel

Cycling is a really good way to keep fit and get around. You don't need any fuel and it doesn't pollute anywhere.

Julian (Yorkshire Bike Shack owner and keen cyclist)

Active travel means using walking, cycling or scooting to get around. It's a healthy way to travel as it's a form of exercise. It can help to support your mental health, it's better for the environment and reduces congestion on the roads.

Of course not all journeys lend themselves to active travel options, and if you are going too far to walk or cycle, you might like to consider public transport options. You can check local bus, train and tram timetables at Travel South Yorkshire.


Support for cycling

There's support available to anyone in Doncaster who would like to learn to ride a bike, or brush up on their cycling skills. All the information you need can be found on our Cycling webpage.

Support for walking

There's support available to anyone in Doncaster who would like to do more walking. All the information you need can be found on our Walking webpage.

Support for schools and businesses

The Active Travel team at Doncaster Council work closely with many schools and businesses across Doncaster to support their students and employees to make active travel choices. You can find out more about support for schools and workplaces in our Partner Information Hub.
