This strategy aims at making cycling and walking increasing "natural choices" for short trips and part of longer trips. It also sets short term objectives, details financial resources available, discusses indicators and sets governance arrangements to be put in place in the future.
The strategy is due to be updated in July 2020 through a 2 billion pounds package to pursue the following goals (among others): 1) the creation of a national cycling and walking commissioner and inspectorat, 2) higher standards for permanent infrastructure across England, 3) getting GPs to prescribe cycling and exercise, and 4) creating a long-term budget for cycling and walking similar to what happens for roads.

- We will increase the percentage of children aged 5 to 10 that usually walk to school from 49% in 2014 to 55% in 2025. Transportation: Modal Shift · Target year: 2025
- We aim to increase walking activity, where walking activity is measured as the total number of walking stages per person per year, to 300 stages per person per year in 2025, and will work towards developing the evidence base over the next year. Transportation: Modal Shift · Target year: 2025
- We aim to double cycling, where cycling activity is measured as the estimated total number of cycle stages made each year, from 0.8 billion stages in 2013 to 1.6 billion stages in 2025, and will work towards developing the evidence base over the next year. Transportation: Modal Shift · Target year: 2025
