Active travel

Active travel is about making journeys in physically active ways like walking, cycling and wheeling.

Active travel schemes

Dumfries and Galloway Council is working with partners and our communities to improve and expand the active travel network through our programme of active travel schemes.

Our active travel schemes can be used to walk wheel or cycle. Locations are shown on our active travel schemes map.

Our active travel schemes are programmed and prioritised based on funding rules and Council Plan commitments.

To help people and support communities to achieve their ideas and ambitions we consult with local communities at various stages throughout the development of a scheme. Get involved and have your say in our consultations.

If you have an idea for an active travel scheme in your local area you can let us know and we will consider it in future planning.
