3. Make A Change

Start practicing more sustainable travel today! Use one of your regular journeys under 5km, and try to walk or cycle it instead of driving or using public transport. You’ll likely be pleasantly surprised at what a difference it makes in terms of fitness, and time gained. Perhaps it doesn’t take as long as you thought, or it could even take less time than driving, but the benefits to you and your community are priceless. You can find further information about your local walking and cycling amenities over on our Cavendish View Walking and Cycling pages

4. Investigate a cycle to work scheme

Find out if your employer is a member of a cycle to work scheme like Cyclescheme. These schemes are set up to benefit employees by saving between 25-39% on the cost of a bicycle and cycling accessories. Choose a bike, and invite your employer to join if they haven’t signed up already!

5. Join Liftshare for free

Sign up free to Liftshare. By sharing journeys you can save money on the cost of travelling by car. Liftshare is an easy to use and great tool for finding other local people to partner up with. There are already over 100 possible car sharing opportunities from the Thurston area, however, if you still can’t find one suitable for you, why not advertise as a driver? Car sharing is not only great for regular journeys such as commuting but also for one-off trips to events, concerts and festivals.

6. Keep Up To Date

Most importantly, don’t forget to follow the Smarter Travel Suffolk Facebook page! We keep this page regularly updated with news and events happening in the area and will post our annual Spring newsletter here. We also hold competitions and notify you of any relevant local travel information.
