Safe, Sustainable Travel Torbay
A registered charity, volunteer-led and proudly community-focused.
Torbay’s unique geography and infrastructure create serious barriers to sustainable travel—but we believe every one of them can be overcome.
Steep hills and disconnected routes make active travel physically demanding and often unsafe.
Torbay has among the highest car ownership rates in the South West, with few safe alternatives.
Tourism peaks create acute congestion, straining infrastructure and local communities.
Deprived communities face the greatest barriers to affordable, accessible travel options.
How people move shapes every aspect of daily life—from health and opportunity to the climate we leave behind.
Active travel reduces chronic illness, improves mental health and increases life expectancy.
Reliable, affordable transport is essential for accessing work, schools and vital services.
Car ownership is the second-largest household expense. Better alternatives ease financial pressure.
Reducing car journeys cuts emissions and improves air quality in our most congested streets.
Calmer, safer streets encourage social interaction, local spending and civic pride.
