Let’s work together to increase…
Active & Sustainable Travel
Active travel means getting about in a way that makes you physically active, like walking or cycling.
Reducing our carbon emissions is essential for our future, and our transportation choices can make a huge difference. We advocate for, enable, and support our community to use sustainable and low-carbon means of transport, including more walking, cycling, car sharing and using public transport. Travelling this way, even for short journeys, not only reduces your carbon footprint, it also improves your health and wellbeing, and can save you money too!
Sustainable travel is choosing the lowest carbon emitting option when active travel isn’t possible.
Did you know…
Each mile you walk rather than drive saves 276g of CO₂ emissions?
