"Many local authorities and organisations are making great progress in promoting safe and sustainable travel and this series of events will share their expertise."
Responding to the announcement, road safety minister Andrew Jones added that Brake "is making a real difference by working with local authorities", ensuring that youngsters are more easily able to walk and cycle in safety up and down the country.
