RESIDENTS living in more than 6,000 homes in the Acomb and Poppleton areas of York are set to benefit from free travel advice.

A team of i-Travel York travel advisers is continuing one of the biggest door-to-door exercises undertaken in York by visiting residents to encourage them to consider using more sustainable and active modes of transport including walking, cycling, public transport and car sharing.

The advisers will provide information such as bus and cycle maps, and offer personal challenges for individuals to try out a new form of sustainable transport. Participants will also receive incentives such as a free All-York bus taster ticket, a pedometer or a bike health check to help them on their way.
