Mastering mobility: understanding the health benefits of active mobility

My list

In an era defined by the drive towards decarbonised transportation, active mobility is often highlighted as a crucial part of the solution. But active mobility, which encompasses modes of human-powered transportation such as walking, cycling, skateboarding, rollerblading, running, etc; is more than just a way of getting from one place to another sustainably. Active mobility not only helps to decarbonise transportation, but it is also a pathway to improved physical, mental and social well-being; both individually and collectively.

As active mobility helps reduce reliance on motorised transport, it is in turn a contributor to greater environmental sustainability. With increased participation in active mobility modalities, emissions are cut, and air pollution is reduced. As such, active mobility is often considered the most sustainable form of personal transport.
