DERWENTHORPE residents are to benefit from City of York Council’s continuing i-Travel York Personal Travel Planning programme.
Travel advisers will be providing tailored travel advice for residents living in the Joseph Rowntree Housing Trust’s new eco-friendly community on York's eastern outskirts.
They will encourage residents to try out sustainable modes of travel, provide information such as bus and cycle maps, and offer personal travel ‘challenges’ for individuals to try out a new form of sustainable transport.
To help them on their way, participants will be offered significant incentives to try new forms of travel, such as free bus tickets, City Car Club membership, and vouchers towards bikes or cycling / walking equipment.
York based Get Cycling will also provide a community bike loan offer, whereby a resident can loan a bike and equipment for three weeks to try out cycling, with the option of purchasing the bike at a discount at the end of this period.
