Hugh from Wellington City Council answered the following questions from students about Walking and wheeling - choosing a more active mode of transport:

1. How would you define an active mode of transport? (Are ebikes? We use our hands and feet when we drive - why is that not an active mode of transport?). Are there other similar terms we might come across that have similar meanings?
2. What examples do you have of places where active modes of transport are used a lot. Why do you think this is?
3. What about where active modes aren't used much? Why?
4. Do you use active transport yourself? What sorts, when and why?
5. What are the benefits of choosing more active modes of transport?
6. What are some of the things we need to be aware of to make active transport modes successful/safe? 7.Are active modes of transport increasing? Why/why not?
7. How have active modes of transport evolved over time? How do you see them changing in the future?
8. What are some things we can do today that could increase our own use of/improve our enjoyment of active transport?
