Policy and Reform Minister says integrated approach needed
Infrastructure, safety and motivation need to be considered before the Manx government introduces a 'bike to work scheme'.
That's the view of Policy and Reform Minister, Chris Thomas.
In response to a question by MHK Lawrie Hooper during the House of Keys this morning (7 Mar) the Minister said government departments are investigating ways of encouraging active transport.
Benefits for those willing to cycle to work were included in part of the latest Manx Budget.
Mr Thomas says an integrated approach would be needed before introducing a cycle to work scheme:
Person dies following road traffic collision at Hillberry
Contractors to start installing 20mph signs in Douglas and Onchan
Accessible bus stops rolled out across Bus Vannin network
Road closures in place following incident in Hillberry area
£1 million National AI Office launched to coordinate artificial intelligence policy and adoption
