A brilliant inaugural lecture from our Director, Professor Rachel Aldred. Reflecting upon how transport inequalities led her to active travel research, the 'near miss project' which led to better reporting of road violence against cyclists, and then the developments of AT in London.

About Active Travel Studies
Active Travel Studies is a peer reviewed, open access journal intended to provide a source of authoritative research on walking, wheeling, cycling and other forms of active travel. In the context of a climate emergency, widespread health problems associated with inactivity, and poor air quality caused in large part by fossil fuel transport, the journal is relevant and timely. It performs the critical function of providing practitioners and policy makers with access to current and robust findings on all subjects relevant to active travel.
