Policy and influencing in Northern Ireland

We are working to ensure the Northern Ireland Assembly and local authorities deliver policies and projects that enable more people to walk, wheel and cycle to help reduce car dependency.

Northern Ireland Assembly Elections 2022

Our overall policy work is to make it easier for more people to walk, wheel and cycle to help reduce car dependency and unlock the benefits of active travel.

We want to see safe routes to schools, safer joined-up cycle networks and better planning to encourage more people to travel actively.

Climate crisis

We support a Climate Change Bill for Northern Ireland and believe sustainable transport has a vital role to play in tackling this crisis.

We are members of the Climate Coalition NI which is campaigning for the Private Members Bill going through the NI Assembly.

We also responded in February 2021 to DAERA鈥檚 Climate Change Discussion paper.听

Northern Ireland's Environment Strategy听

Northern Ireland is consulting on its first-ever Environment Strategy, with the Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs (DAERA) seeking views from a wide range of stakeholders.

We responded to the Discussion document in 2020. Read our response.

A consultation on theis now live.

Air quality

We know that poor air quality is damaging our health and the environment.

In N. Ireland road transport contributes 26% of all NO2 emissions, mostly from passenger cars.

These emissions are concentrated on our roads in urban areas close to homes, schools and shops.

We responded in February 2021 to DAERA鈥檚 Clean Air Strategy Discussion document.

We also are part of Belfast City Council鈥檚 Air Quality Steering Group which is publishing its next five-year plan.

Read our position on improving air quality.

Belfast Bicycle Network Plan

We have been听working to influence the听 which the Department for Infrastructure published in June 2021.

We have been calling for a Delivery Plan which is expected by end of 2021.

We have argued for more protected cycle lanes along arterial routes to form a safe, joined-up network.

黄色app and other cycling campaigners have called for a two-way protected cycle path along Chichester Street to provide a safe route for all.
