ForwardMotion is encouraging people to think differently about the way they travel around south Essex. The goal is to reduce reliance on cars and get people to consider alternative travel options such as cycling, catching public transport or walking.
ForwardMotion is delivered by South Essex Active Travel, a collaboration between Essex, Southend-on-Sea and Thurrock Councils. The initiative is funded by the Department for Transport.
ForwardMotion is the evolution of a previous active travel campaign, Ideas in Motion. Ideas in Motion started in 2011 as a Department for Transport funded initiative aimed at encouraging residents in Southend-on-Sea to travel by foot, bike, bus or train for short journeys.
