Views & Briefings

CTC's campaigning focuses on six core themes: commitment to cycling; designed for cycling; off-road access; promotion and encouragement; safe drivers and vehicles; and public transport.

Our campaigns briefings cover a range of topics relating to these six core themes. You can access the whole list below, or filter according to a core theme. Each briefing starts with a set of headline messages, designed to help anyone who needs a quick summary of the topic in question. This is followed by CTC’s formal policy (CTC View), as approved by the elected members of CTC Council; detailed key facts and arguments; and other background information.

The campaigns briefings series is gradually replacing the policies published in CTC’s original Policy Handbook (2004).
