Key Considerations

● Ensure that good practice is shared on how to develop a green travel plan.

● There is a need to incentivise businesses, staff, students, and visitors to use sustainable transport methods, for example, giving points for choosing a ‘green’ transportation option.

● Lobbying efforts should be directed towards improving infrastructure and securing additional funding, such as making cycling safer, increasing bike storage and charging points (powered by solar energy), promoting shared mobility options, and encouraging more use of the river for transportation.

Next steps and actions

● SELCC to hold an event on how to develop a green travel plan.

● SELCC to support the call for a River Commissioner.
