Travel more sustainably

Transport emits the largest share of Oxfordshire’s carbon emissions. The following actions will reduce carbon emissions and the amount of traffic on our roads:

Use public transport – Info on buses and trains in South Oxfordshire.
Consider walking or cycling for short, everyday journeys – E-bikes are also a great option for slightly longer journeys. Several National Cycle Networks run through the district and the ongoing delivery of the Science Vale Cycle Network.

Electric vehicles – South Oxfordshire has a network of park and charge spaces in our public car parks.
Join a car club – If you don’t drive often, think about joining a car club or car share scheme. This could save you purchasing a car or a second car.
Eco driving tips are available from the Climate Action Oxfordshire website
