Create Your Own Active Travel Leaflet
Pindar Creative's SALI portal is an innovative tool designed to help organisations promote active travel. SALI provides an easy-to-use platform for creating customised, site-specific travel leaflets that can be shared online or printed for distribution.
The portal uses OpenStreetMap or custom maps, combined with a range of pre-set templates for schools, workplaces, or community groups. Users can quickly create detailed maps in just a few minutes. These maps can be personalised with key travel information, such as walking routes, cycling facilities, park-and-stride sites, and isochrones that show five-minute walking zones or parking exclusion areas. Custom icons can also be added to highlight important features or amenities.
Once created, travel leaflets can be hosted online, making them easy to share with parents, staff, and community members via email. This digital accessibility supports the ongoing promotion of active and sustainable travel. For those who prefer printed materials, a high-resolution PDF option allows organisations to create professional-quality leaflets for physical distribution.
SALI has gained traction across the UK, with over 35 local authority areas having used the platform to encourage sustainable travel. It was shortlisted for both the Modeshift's National Sustainable Travel Awards and Landor's TransTech Award, recognising its significant role in promoting environmentally-friendly travel solutions.
A great example of SALI's success is seen in The London Borough of Haringey 'Smarter Travel Initiative', which uses the portal to support primary and secondary schools in advocating for active travel options. The portal allows the borough to create custom maps that highlight safe and accessible routes for walking and cycling to local schools. These maps are designed to help parents, students, and staff make informed choices about environmentally friendly travel, supporting Haringey's commitment to reducing traffic congestion and improving air quality.
Pindar Creative works with a wide range of organisations to provide cost-effective solutions that help promote active travel. If you'd like to find out how SALI can support your organisation, please get in touch.
