“Grants available to help workplaces fund green travel measures.

Applications are now open for workplaces wanting to support their staff to make more sustainable choices about how they travel to and from work.

The Council’s Workplace Travel Grant offers match funding of up to £5,000 to organisations to provide facilities and equipment.

Grants have previously been used to provide a range of measures including bike shelters, car share parking spaces and pool bikes.

Vicky Fraser, service director for environment and connectivity, said: “The Workplace Travel Grant aims to help employers to break down some of the barriers their employees might face in choosing sustainable modes of travel over taking the car to and from work.

“Swapping the car for walking, cycling or public transport is not only good for our environment and cutting air pollution, but also for our health too. “

The deadline for applications is 31 July 2024.
