The National <strong>Cycle</strong> Network is a comprehensive network<br />

of safe and attractive routes <strong>to</strong> cycle throughout the UK.<br />

10,000 miles are due for completion by 2005, one third of<br />

which will be on traffic-free paths, the rest will follow quiet<br />

lanes or traffic-calmed roads. It is delivered through the<br />

policies and programmes of over 450 local authorities and<br />

other partners, and is co-ordinated by the charity Sustrans.<br />

Sustrans - the sustainable transport charity - works on<br />

practical projects <strong>to</strong> encourage people <strong>to</strong> walk, cycle and<br />

use public transport in order <strong>to</strong> reduce mo<strong>to</strong>r traffic and its<br />

adverse effects. 5,000 miles of our flagship project, the<br />

National <strong>Cycle</strong> Network, were officially opened in June<br />

2000, we will increase this <strong>to</strong> 10,000 miles by 2005.<br />

As well as the National <strong>Cycle</strong> Network, Sustrans is working<br />

on Safe Routes <strong>to</strong> School, Home Zones and other practical<br />

responses <strong>to</strong> the transport and environmental challenges<br />

we face. Sustrans' work relies on the generous donations<br />

and monthly standing orders of nearly 40,000 Supporters,<br />

and the support of charitable trusts, companies, the<br />

National Lottery and local authority programmes.<br />
