Sustainable Transport

The total amount of greenhouse emissions generated from any one person's or one household's lifestyle is influenced by travel behavior. Private vehicles rely on fossil fuels that have a high greenhouse emission factor in their recovery. This emission factor increases when vehicles carry only one person.

The City of Yarra encourages everyone to use more sustainable forms of transport whenever possible - public transport, cycling, walking. A side benefit of using sustainable transport is a healthier body!
