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:
Drone pilots warned of exclusion zones during road racing
No self-driving car laws expected before 2027
Cannan: 'Too early to reveal any re-election plans'
