Families given option to trade in car for bicycles under new pilot scheme – independent.co.uk

A city council in England is to give residents the power to trade in their family car for bicycles, under a new pilot scheme.
The programme, launched by Coventry City Council and Transport for West Midlands, is the first of its kind in the country and aims to cut air pollution by helping people travel more sustainably.
Under the scheme, which is open to people in the worst-polluted parts of Coventry, families are given a pre-loaded £3,000 cashcard if they give up their car for scrap.
