Active travel

Creating vibrant, healthier, and more connected communities.

Walking and cycling are vital components of sustainable, efficient, and healthy transport systems. Active travel not only reduces congestion and lowers emissions but also enhances our health and well-being. Additionally, it fosters economic growth and promotes a more equitable society. 

Creating safe, appealing, and accessible environments for walking and cycling requires careful planning, investment, and collaboration. At Steer, we work with communities, local authorities, governments and developers to design and implement practical, people-centred active travel solutions.

We ensure our clients achieve their sustainable mobility goals.
