CoHSAT is a group of voluntary and campaigning organisations working across Oxfordshire to create attractive, accessible and people-friendly streets.
We do this by encouraging efficient, active, low carbon and sustainable travel, which will reduce traffic, air pollution and noise, and enable healthy and thriving communities.
CoHSAT’s role is to amplify member and partner voices, facilitate discussion, and increase engagement on healthy streets and active travel across Oxfordshire. Read more about CoHSAT’s strategy and approach here and more about CoHSAT membership here.

CoHSAT was formed in 2019, when several founding members recognised the need to work more collaboratively on healthy streets and active travel campaigning in Oxford.
In 2020, CoHSAT built relationships with active travel groups across the county, and supported the development of new groups in market towns.
In 2021, CoHSAT welcomed several new members representing active travel issues outside of Oxford City. CoHSAT also outlined its views on various issues in a 2021 election manifesto.
Find out more about our current members below. If you are an active travel group, and/or engaged in supporting healthy/liveable streets in Oxfordshire and you are interested in becoming a member, please contact us at info@cohsat.org.uk.
Cyclox is the voice of cycling in Oxford. We campaign to put cycling at the heart of Oxford’s future. Our mission is to get more people cycling, more often, and more safely. We collaborate with key decision makers to put cycling on the public agenda; partner with active travel and low-carbon groups; and engage with the local community to inform, encourage, and support change.
Low Carbon West Oxford (LCWO) was set up after the summer floods of 2007 by residents concerned about climate change and local flooding. It is a community-led initiative which aims
to combat climate change by cutting our community carbon dioxide emissions by 80% by 2050, encouraging residents to live more sustainably, and contributing to a more cohesive and resilient community.
Oxfordshire Cycling Network (OCN) proposes a county-wide ‘all ages, all abilities’ cycle network linking major towns, workplaces and transport hubs safe, direct and attractive routes. It is a starting point for discussions with the County Council and the public about its shape, its benefits and its costs.
Oxford Friends of the Earth is a voluntary group of people working together to promote a healthy and sustainable environment. We encourage people across Oxfordshire to be active in driving meaningful, positive change that makes a lasting difference to our environment. We have been active for over 40 years, we have various working groups, and we welcome new members.
Our work focuses on climate change, air pollution, transport, and biodiversity. We have set up the Oxfordshire Clean Air Charter, the countywide Zero Carbon Homes Initiative and Oxfordshire Trees for the Future.
Oxford Pedestrians Association promote better conditions for those walking in the
city.
Pedal and Post are Oxford’s Eco delivery services. We have the largest Cargo bike fleet which are fast,
reliable, cost effective and deliver come rain or shine.
Pedal & Post is changing things up in the logistics sector with a vision to move goods sustainably
in cities. From last mile parcels, to healthcare, to Retail to tech, we support businesses across a
whole range of sectors whilst pioneering zero emission ways to deliver, helping to create healthier,
greener and more liveable cities.
Banbury Active Travel Supporters (BATS) is a project set up by Banbury Community Action Group (BCAG), keen to promote cycling, walking, and clean air in Banbury. We are looking for others who share our aims, to join us.
BATS wants to see safe pavements and cycle lanes provided as through routes in Banbury, so that more people can choose to leave the car at home. Fewer cars on Banbury roads will also mean cleaner air: at present, in places Banbury has some of the most polluted roads in Oxfordshire.
BicesterBUG aims to represent and campaign for bike use in Bicester and it’s surroundings. We see cycling as a key part of the Bicester life. Local travel to work, shops, school and for fun all has the potential to be done safely and easily by bike in our town. We work to improve the profile of cycling as a mode of transport and work with local government to improve the infrastructure provision to enable safe cycling for all no matter age or background.Abingdon Liveable Streets aims to improve our walking and cycling routes so that people can travel to school or work safely without needing to use their cars. The group is a collaboration of Abingdon Carbon Cutters, AbiBike, Abingdon Freewheeling, Abingdon Health Walks and the Town Council.
