Resident Travel Scheme
Through the Resident Travel Scheme, cycle discounts, bus tickets and car club discounts are offered at some new residential developments in York. Usually only the first residents of a new home can apply.
This is a scheme run by City of York Council.
If you have any questions about the Resident Travel Scheme, or want to follow up your application, email: itravel@york.gov.uk.
Eligibility
This scheme is funded through the planning process for new residential developments. It’s to encourage first occupants to travel by bus, cycle or car club, which can have benefits to local traffic flow and the environment. Therefore, it isn’t available to most residents in York.
You'll probably know if you can apply because you may have received information from us regarding this scheme. But if you think you live on a residential estate that is taking part, but missed the publicity, contact us by email: itravel@york.gov.uk.
Before you apply

Read the Resident Travel Scheme terms and conditions. The application form will ask you to agree to them.
