Congratulations to our Commissioner, Chris Boardman CBE on receiving his Commander of the Order of the British Empire at Buckingham Palace today for services to active travel 👩🦽🚲🚶♂️   Chris said: “I’m delighted to receive this honour for services to active travel. Travelling on foot and by bike is the foundation of a sustainable transport system and levels in London have been going up and up because it's an easy way to get around. We can do that for the whole nation; it would really make a difference."

We're working with the Department for Transport to deliver the Integrated National Transport Strategy, announced by Louise Haigh MP today, helping to give everyone more choice on how they get around. Read National Active Travel Commissioner, Chris Boardman's statement below:
