As everyone works to become more environmentally friendly, it’s more important than ever to be aware of sustainable ways to travel. In 2020 the council asked for your views on cycling and walking, with feedback implemented into our Walking and Cycling Strategy. 

The app and website Kent Connected is a journey planner with the aim to help you travel smarter. From travelling for work or looking for an activity with the family, Kent Connected provides you with information tailored to your needs. The journey planner accounts for car, train, bus, car sharing, walking and cycling routes across Kent, giving you more options to explore the county.
