Although active travel modes are a great way to stay fit and public transport can ease congestion, they’re not always practical for getting where you need to when you need to. Sometimes there is no realistic alternative to travelling via car.
This website aims to provide a range of travel choices to help you travel sustainably and to mitigate car emissions and traffic congestion. However, when car travel is essential, it’s good to be aware of the opportunities and conditions in your area, such as car sharing and car clubs.
To give you a helping hand, electric-vehicle charging points have been installed in all homes to enable you to make the switch from a combustion-engine car if you’ve not already done so.
Don’t own a car, or are thinking about going car-free? Why not try Co Cars, the largest UK car club west of Bristol.
Car sharing
Do you often find yourself travelling alone in your car? If you choose to share the journey with someone else you could halve the costs of your fuel and parking, while also reducing congestion and helping the planet.
Carshare Devon can help you find others who want to share their car journey. It is part of the Liftshare platform, the largest car sharing scheme in the UK with over 700,000 people registered. It’s free and easy to join and a great way to ease the stress and boredom of driving.
