Progress update AR6

Through sustainable travel partnerships increase the integration and use of sustainable transport modes for leisure and everyday life within and to the National Park to ensure that by 2011:

a) the main visitor locations in the Dales are accessible by public transport from their main catchments between Easter and October on Saturdays, Sundays and Bank Holidays;

b) the key corridors in the Dales, linking Kendal, Richmond, Leyburn, Skipton, Settle and Ingleton, have Monday to Saturday public transport access all year;

c) all public bus services to and within the Dales are operated by suitable, fully accessible, low emission vehicles;

d) there is a National Park-wide programme of guided walks and events, at least 85% of which are accessible by public transport.
