This section provides technical information, notes and guidance and pre-release access relating to Walking and cycling statistics

Technical information

DfT’s local-level walking and cycling statistics are derived from the Active People Survey (APS), an annual household survey which is administered by Sport England.

Full details of the methods used in the compilation of the walking and cycling statistics can be found in the Notes and Definitions document (available below).

National statistics

All of the statistics published in this series are Official Statistics. The Department’s view is that all statistics which are not designated as National Statistics are robust and have been produced to a suitable standard.
