Active Travel
The Active Travel program encourages all Gold Coast residents and visitors to 'enjoy the way they move' and make Active Travel choices as part of their everyday lives.
The program offers activities, incentives, resources and tips to assist residents, businesses and visitors to adopt sustainable living practices on the Gold Coast. The program also aims to encourage active and healthy living through developing an integrated network of walking, cycling and public transport routes which link people to places, helping people to easily incorporate Active Travel into their daily life for school, work, shopping and play!
So, leave your car at home and consider walking, cycling, car pooling or public transport (just to name a few!) to help you get up and get active and start to 'enjoy the way you move'!
In the table below you will find some some great information and ideas to help you get up and active with active travel!
