Elgin Active Travel Audit

The key purpose of the travel audits is to identify:

“A practical network of high quality routes suitable for cycling within each settlement that provides convenient and safe access to all major destinations” and

“A network of routes for pedestrians focused upon railway stations, bus stations, major employment areas, local shopping areas, leisure/recreation centres, hospitals and main trip generators”
