Sustainable Transport

This principle is about encouraging low carbon modes of transport to reduce emissions, and reducing the need to travel.

We want to see transport that is clean, safe, quiet, and run on renewables. Together, cycling, walking and low-carbon vehicles help the air become cleaner, our streets safer and can increase our health and fitness. This is achieved by supporting initiatives that make it easier for people to cycle and walk, hire cars, and have access to low-carbon alternatives. We suggest heading over to Smarter Travel Sutton, and award-winning initiative to encourage and enable residents of Sutton to get out of their cars and travel by more sustainable means.
