How to travel more sustainably

If you want to travel more sustainably, consider a more environmentally friendly alternative to your car.

Options include:

• electric vehicles, bikes and scooters
• walking or cycling
• bus and train travel
• car-sharing (also called car-pooling and lift-sharing)

As electric vehicles become more popular, we're increasing the number of locations where you can charge your vehicle.

• where to find charging points
• how to charge your vehicle at home

• our Electric Vehicle Action Plan

For more information see Buckinghamshire electric scooter trial.

We have also launched a new electric bike hire scheme in Aylesbury and High Wycombe. Twenty-five e-bikes are available for public hire across the towns through the Zipp Mobility app.

Walking, cycling and wheeling are great ways to travel sustainably.

You can view:

• walking, cycling and wheeling route maps
• walking, cycling and wheeling routes in development

Using public transport can be a greener and more economical travel choice.

See Bus passes and travel for more information about:

• bus passes
• travel options
• routes

Active travel schemes aim to encourage residents to do more local journeys by foot or bike.

The schemes can also have longer-term benefits including:

• reduced congestion
• improved air quality
• improved community cohesion
• better public health

Liftshare is a free car-sharing app that helps you:

• create a profile
• find other people to car-share with
• arrange free lifts
