@misc { , title = {How do we share the benefits of walking and cycling? lessons learned from the Active Access project.}, abstract = {The benefits of using walking and cycling as a means of daily transport are numerous and well documented (Rabl \& de Nazelle 2012, de Nazelle et al 2011, Larkin 2009, Cavill et al. 2008, Saelensminde 2004). Targets for increased active travel are being written into transport policies with increasing frequency, especially in cities in North West Europe, with local authorities recognising its importance in future mobility and providing funds to increase levels of walking and cycling in the population. However, this is not the case in all European cities. New Member States and countries in Southern Europe, in particular, tend to have low levels of political support and high levels of private car use, even for short trips. So how do we convince such cities of the benefits to them of increased levels of walking and cycling? This chapter examines the perceived effectiveness of different methods for transferring new ideas about active travel to stakeholders from 10 European countries taking part in the EU-funded Active Access project. The impact of cultural barriers will be examined and conclusions drawn about the design of future multi-national projects to maximise their impact on policy transfer affecting active travel modes.}, isbn = {978-3-936438-45-1}, pages = {11-30}, publicationstatus = {Published}, url = {http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/6943}, keyword = {388 Transportation; ground transportation, HE Transportation and Communications, Smart mobility, Transport Research Innovation Centre, Culture and Communities, Walking, cycling, active travel, transport policy;}, year = {2024}, author = {O'Dolan, Catriona} editor = {Gronau, Werner and Fischer, Wolfgang and Pressl, Robert} }
