Douglas traffic wardens issued with electric bikes
Thu, 24 Oct 2019
Traffic wardens in Douglas have been issued with electric bikes to get around town.
Isle of Man Government said that the team is making good use of the bikes, with staff enjoying the health benefits as well as helping to reduce congestion while travelling to outlying areas.
The introduction of the bikes supports the Government’s Active Travel Strategy, which aims to encourage more than 20% of people walking and cycling to work, school or study by 2021, compared to 14% in 2011.
UK charity Sustrans has helped to develop an
Active Travel Investment Plan to inform changes such as high-quality cycle routes, traffic calming and improved signage.
Two active travel officers are also working directly with businesses, schools and communities to encourage more people to travel by foot or bicycle.
