Travel schemes

Read about the different travel schemes which are happening in York.

These schemes are aiming to encourage you to walk, cycle or take the bus in York to reduce your carbon footprint. We want to encourage people to cycle, take the bus and use the car club. This will reduce car journeys, to help the environment and local traffic flow.

We’ll publish details of current schemes on this page as soon as they’re available.

We worked with York’s bike shops to enable you to experience life with an e-cycle for 1 week. We then offered a discount to buy your own e-cycle. Email: itravel@york.gov.uk if you’d be interested in taking part in a future e-cycle switch scheme.
