Top Tips for more sustainable transport

  • Start and finish work earlier or later to avoid peak times
  • Plan ahead - organise your day around walking/ cycling/ using public transport to travel to work
  • Sign up to your local car share scheme, cycle buddy / walk buddy scheme
  • Get a personalised travel plan that will identify public transport options for your journey to work - visit www.traveline.info
  • Plan a holiday in the UK using public transport
  • Adopt better driving practices to increase efficiency and save money (reduce your speed, check tyre pressures)
  • Remove roof racks and heavy items from the boot to increase fuel efficiency
  • Use park and ride services to travel to town if you don’t have access to a local bus/ train stop
  • Shop locally instead of driving to the supermarket
  • Try to do a weekly shop if you drive to the supermarket
  • Think - do you really need to make the journey?
