Active and sustainable travel
Active travel refers to modes of transport that are better for the environment and for our health, including cycling, walking, skating, or taking public transport. Travelling sustainably comes with multiple benefits, including:
- Keeping healthy by walking and cycling to your destinations
- Saving money
- Reducing your carbon emissions and environmental impact
- Reducing your contribution to air pollution in London
- It's quicker than you think - on average you can walk a mile in 15-20 minutes, or cycle this in 5!
- Choosing to commute by walking or cycling, just once a week, could save around 29kg of CO2 a year
- Reducing your case use by 1/4 could save up to £202 in fuel costs and 510kg of CO2 a year
- Walking, cycling or wheeling reduces congestion and pollution, making local spaces quieter and healthier
