SA1 is committed to promoting and raising awareness of healthy and sustainable travel options. So we’re encouraging you to leave your car at home and try a greener option. That could be cycling, walking, using public transport or car sharing - anything that cuts your carbon footprint.

Sustainable travel is good for the environment and good for all of us too. It means less pollution, less damage to the environment and less traffic congestion resulting in better health, improved air quality, safer roads, less stress and very often quicker journeys too.

Here's our most recent newsletter, keeping you up to date with recent developments.
