✕Everyone can help save the planet, one journey at a time
Its time to get moving in new ways - towards a cleaner planet, improved personal health and better personal finances.
Across Scotland various organisations have been working on initiatives to help change how we travel. These initiatives focus on making daily travel sustainable, accessible and desirable. The impact so far has seen more people walking, wheeling or cycling for shorter journeys and choosing public transport or ride shares for longer journeys. But more needs to be done to reduce our carbon emissions and improve our health.
Through the financial support of Transport Scotland these organisations can provide funding, advice, information, training, ideas and inspiration to help individuals and organisations from the private, public and charitable sectors increase their uptake of active and sustainable travel. Explore the categories to see what we do, and follow the steps below to find out what's available to you.
