Propensity to Cycle Tool (PCT) is an online, open-source transport planning system from the UK for improving cycling infrastructure.

The PCT was designed to assist transport planners and policy makers to prioritise investments and interventions to promote cycling. The PCT answers the question: ‘where is cycling currently common and where does cycling have the greatest potential to grow?’.

About the Propensity to Cycle Tool
A better method than “building cycling where it is easy to build”.

The work was initially funded by the English Department for Transport (DfT) to create the National Propensity to Cycle Tool for England (2015-2017, with further funding in 2018-19). The Welsh government funded the extension to Wales in 2018.
