The second biggest area of carbon emissions in Calderdale is travel. We must work together to make our transport systems work for everybody and our streets are safer, and greener.
Key actions
- Reduce traffic on Calderdale’s roads, so people can walk and cycle more.
- Work with West Yorkshire Combined Authority to make sure that the bus and train networks are providing communities with reliable and frequent transport.
- Produce an Electric Vehicle Strategy by 2025, looking at electric vehicle affordability and charging.
How you can help
- If you’d like your street to be greener and healthier, let us know. Get in touch with: activestreets@calderdale.gov.uk to share what changes you’d like to see.
- Leave the car at home. Check out Active Calderdale for ideas on how to walk and cycle more. Local car clubs are also a great way to cut down on your car journeys.
- Call into your local shop to see if there is an e-bike you can take for a test spin. See how quick it gets you to where you need to go, it might surprise you!
