Cherwell District Council, GB Street Tag Active Travel Pilot

In Progress

An initial pilot encouraged individuals and teams in Bicester, Banbury, and Kidlington to compete for points. The Street Tag app includes a map of digital treasures acquired when the user's phone is within 40 meters. Cherwell District Council placed virtual markers in parks, trails, and outdoor landmarks to increase outdoor activity. Points earned by finding treasures on the map are redeemable for shopping vouchers with monthly drawings as an added incentive.
