Get Doncaster Cycling strategy
Doncaster's ambition is to be a cycling town where residents choose to cycle because it is a healthy, safe and attractive method of transport. Doncaster has invested heavily in cycle infrastructure over recent years and continues to provide better cycle facilities for the residents of the borough.
In 2019, Sustrans were assigned to independently review what was needed to increase the number of people cycling across the borough. They consulted with residents, councillors, interested stakeholders and local cycle groups to gain knowledge of the area. This insight formed the basis for the Get Doncaster Cycling strategy.
