    Replacing car travel with walking and cycling lowers emissions, improves air quality and makes communities healthier. Rates of active travel typically increase when dedicated infrastructure is implemented. But policymakers in multiple countries regularly contend with two obstacles: designing infrastructure that people will make use of and securing public support for implementation. This paper reviews and synthesises relevant research from behavioural science that shed light on how these two obstacles can be overcome. We find that research on moderators of the success of active travel initiatives points to the importance of connectivity and safety perceptions, particularly among women and older adults. We then review empirical findings on how to design active travel infrastructure to ensure both safety and perceptions of safety, which are influenced by design decisions. With respect to public support, we review research from behavioural economics and psychology that may help to counter misperceptions of the effects of active travel infrastructure. We also draw on evidence regarding support for climate policy and opinion formation more generally. The paper offers an evidence-based guide for policymakers to design and implement active travel infrastructure, seen through the lens of behavioural science. It also highlights fruitful avenues for future research.

    This study demonstrates how status quo bias (SQB) acts as an obstacle to active travel policy. A pre-registered experiment was undertaken to measure the strength of SQB and to illuminate its likely causes. A large, nationally representative sample evaluated descriptions of a town layout designed to promote cycling and walking ahead of driving. Participants were randomised such that the (otherwise identical) layout was either planned or already in place. Those in the 'planned' condition gave lower evaluations, demonstrating strong SQB. The estimated effect size was stronger than the influence of being a cyclist or regular driver. SQB was unrelated to psychological scales measuring general resistance to change and loss aversion. Participants in the 'planned' condition also sought out different information about the town layout, immediately focussing on potential downsides - a behaviour consistent with some psychological theories of evaluation. The findings have implications for active travel policy and other pro-climate policies that require societal acceptance of change.
