Travel planning available to people to help people get around the city.
We help you to save cash and feel better by cycling, walking, and travelling by bus and train a bit more, and by driving a bit less or more economically.
Travel Advisors meet residents on the doorstep, chat about travel choices and offer free advice, information and support.

Our eco-driver 50 minute lessons have saved experienced drivers an average £185 on car fuel bills; many have tried the City Car Club or electric-assisted bikes. “Playing Out”, with a residential road closed for a few hours to allow families to get together, has been especially popular.
