Offset rising costs by leaving your car at home, Brice urges – transportxtra
As the cost of living continues to rise, chief executive of Sustrans Xavier Brice is urging drivers to cut car use and travel actively for shorter journeys.
“Sustrans works every day to make it easier for everyone to walk, wheel or cycle,” said Brice. “It’s not always as easy as it should be, but with 45% of our urban journeys being under two miles, it can be easier than we think to leave the car at home and walk, cycle or wheel to school or to the local shops.
“There’s never been a better time to reduce your car use and travel actively. This includes business leaders supporting their employees making the active travel choice, schools working with parents to walk instead of drive, and family days away being made doable by public transport.”
