Modeshift Chair Ross Butcher said: “Congratulations to the winners and runner ups of Modeshift’s National Sustainable Travel Awards 2020. The caliber of the nominations show that our members are continuing to work hard, though the pandemic to run a range of innovate projects, events and activities to support active, safe and responsible travel. Helping people to actively travel safely is a priority at this time and we will continue to provide the support our members need so that they can continue to provide these much needed projects, events and activities.”
