We need to consider how we travel differently. Many shorter journeys (under 3 kms) are faster if walked or cycled and bring vital physical activity into our largely sedentary lifestyles. Walking and cycling to school is also a great way for young people to learn road responsibility, gain independence and get active.
If you live in the City of Port Phillip, make walking, cycling and public transport your primary choice for 80% of all your journeys. Minimise car use and use your car fuel-efficiently.
