Your Sustainable Travel City
In March 2009 Cardiff was announced by WAG as a Sustainable Travel City and pathfinder scheme for Wales.
As Wales’ first Sustainable Travel City, Cardiff is working hard to make sustainable forms of transport easier to use and a natural choice for people to make.
We hope the work we are doing will help the public access the city more easily and contribute to creating a more sustainable Cardiff.
So far we have provided a new Park and Ride site at Cardif East, and are in the process of creating a new pedestrian friendly city centre.
We are working to make walking and cycling better and more enjoyable by providing the right environment and quality choices for the people who live in, work in and visit our beautiful city.
These include:
- Making access easier for cycling across the City and Bay.
- Our Smarter Choices programme - which is helping to encourage everyone to rethink the way they travel in and around the city and helping them to become ‘smart travellers’.
Our Smarter Choice initiatives include
- Travel Plans to help employers and employees rethink commuting and work related travel.
- Journey Sharing an option available to employers and employees to help people share the journey to work, save money and cut the numbers of single occupancy cars on our roads at peak times.
- A New Car Club scheme – which cuts the need to own a second or even a first vehicle.
- The Cardiff Bike Scheme – that provides the chance for people to cycle without needing to buy a bike.
- Creating opportunities for everyone to become Travel Aware by making sure that they have the right information at the right time for their journey.
Cardiff is also working with other organisations to make sure that everyone is considered when decisions are made about our transport system.
