Active Travel projects

Travelling actively can deliver many benefits including; healthier citizens, more connected communities, reduced traffic congestion, and better air quality. We want walking and cycling to be the natural choice for people to make for their everyday journeys in South Lanarkshire.

The projects are funded by various bodies such as the Scottish Government through Transport Scotland, Sustrans, and SPT.

These active travel projects contribute to the Scottish Government’s aim for a healthier, environmentally sustainable nation with a strong economy and communities, as laid out in the National Performance Framework.

As part of the East Kilbride Enhancement (EKE) Scheme, Network Rail is enhancing the rail provision at Hairmyres, East Kilbride. For more information, see Hairmyres transport interchange.
