The Annual Cycling Monitoring Report tracks and reports on key information on everyday cycling in Scotland. It provides a national picture of progress on cycling as well as snapshots of cycling at a local authority level.  Thank you to all partners who have provided data.

The data can be used to measure the progress of several indicators established in the Active Travel Outcomes Framework (2019), indicators replicated in the Cycling Framework for Active Travel – a Plan for Everyday Cycling. The report is complementary to monitoring reports by Regional Transport Partnerships and local authorities.
