Resources

This principle is about reducing the need to travel, encouraging walking, cycling and low carbon transport.

• Reduce car dependence and the need for daily travel
• Make it easy and attractive for people to walk and cycle
• Promote car-sharing and public transport
• Promote low / zero-carbon vehicles including electric cars
• Raise awareness of the impacts of, and promote alternatives to, air travel

For example: walking and cycling, public transport, low carbon vehicles, car sharing, car parking, charging points, green transport plans, employee commuting, business travel, visitors and anything else we thing is important.
