TravelWise Week Hampshire

Try swapping the car for more sustainable travel during TravelWise Week

If you mainly travel by car, why not be inspired by TravelWise Week, 16-22 October to try walking, wheeling, cycling, or taking the bus or train for local journeys. 

TravelWise Week is a week-long campaign, by Modeshift, promoting sustainable ways to travel.  As well reducing our carbon footprint and helping the environment, this can help to save money and is good for physical and mental well-being.   

An increasing number of people are trying to reduce their reliance on the car – the proportion of trips people made by car has fallen from 61% in 2019 to 59% in 2021, and for walking has increased from 26% in 2019 to 31% in 2021 (National Travel Survey).  

During this week, we are going to shine a spotlight on the various travel options we can use instead of the private car, when making journeys to work, to school, to shop and for leisure.  Each day we will focus on different modes of travel and highlight some of the services available across the county.
