Mr. Hugh Creegan:

The lack of safe infrastructure, certainly for cycling, is the biggest obstacle. Another significant issue is the location of schools. In many places we need to invest a considerable amount of money to retrofit facilities to serve schools because transport was not a key consideration in the site selection for those schools. How a school will be served by sustainable transport should move up the list of considerations when selecting sites for new schools. That would make it feasible for many more children to be able to get to school by sustainable modes. The biggest single obstacle is getting the safe infrastructure for cycling.
