Modeshift Travel Champion – Everyday people inspiring everyday journeys

Alice Dale our Active Travel Ambassador (ATA) Coordinator for the West Midlands:

‘I live in Rugby but deliver the ATA programme in Solihull and Birmingham. Therefore, I regularly get the train and then walk to visit the schools and deliver sessions.

What motivates you to try and travel actively and sustainably?

What motivates me to travel actively and sustainably is that it’s another way I can help reduce my impact on climate change and poor air quality. An added bonus is that catching a train is far less stressful than driving ( as long as the trains are on time). I can complete work, read a book or have a nap whilst on the train which I definitely can’t when driving.

How would you encourage others to be a Team Modeshift Travel Champion?

Be prepared with a rain coat, sunglasses and comfortable pair of shoes. That way you are prepared for anything the British weather throws at you.’
