Letter - Journey to work: the potential for promoting active transport?

Abstract

Introduction: A recent issue of the Journal (Vol 10, No. 3) focused on the intersection between the transport and health sectors, illustrating the possibilities for health promotion. Active transport - any form of transport that includes walking, cycling and travelling by public transport as part of journeys to work, school, shopping or other places - is particularly amenable to health promotion intervention as it is consistent with physical activity promotion messages.
