| Why use sustainable transport? |
 | Health Benefits - as a society, we are becoming less active, leading to ever increasing rates of obesity. Sustainable travel builds activity into your daily travel. | | Financial Benefits - Petrol prices are back on the rise. Experts agree that we are running out of petrol, so the price will keep on rising. Why not try changing one trip a week? | | Environmental Benefits - Transport makes up 34% of household greenhouse gas emissions. Changing travel habits has huge potential savings.

| Travelsmart | | TravelSmart is a State Government initiative to reduce our reliance on cars. The goal is for Victorians to make smarter choices with transport, opting for more sustainable choices, such as cycling, walking, public transport or shared car travel.

| Knox Central - By Foot, By Pedal | | To help encourage people to choose walking and cycling we have created the local access map 'Knox Central - By Foot, By Pedal' that helps identify walking and cycling routes around Knox Central.
A copy of this map can be downloaded at the bottom of this page. Hard copies are available at Council's Civic Centre or the Customer Service Desk at Knox Shopping Centre.
