Choosing active or sustainable travel options such as walking, bike riding, skating and scooting, or public transport, rather than driving in a car can have benefits on your health, budget and the environment.
If you require a car, take into consideration the fuel efficiency of the model you are considering on purchasing. There are also other ways you can drive smarter and more efficiently. These include:
- Gentle and calm acceleration and braking.
- Minimise idling.
- Remove needless heavy items from your car.
- Look after your tyres and keep them at their correct pressure.
When booking airfares or long trips – choose the green travel option through your travel provider – this will ensure you trip is carbon neutral.
We are undertaking projects to improve the opportunities for active travel in our city. Find out more on our Active transport (walking and bike riding) page.
