With September fast approaching, the Northern Ireland public are being encouraged to leave the car at home and register for the Active Travel Challenge, for a healthier and more environmentally friendly choice of travel. Whether it’s for leisure, work or school – all journeys count.
Translink, the Department for Infrastructure, Public Health Agency, Sustrans, Belfast Health and Social Care Trust, and Belfast City Council have all backed the joint initiative. It is part of a collaborative drive to inspire people to adopt greener travel options that will prioritise their health and wellbeing and support Northern Irelands ‘green’ recovery and progress towards a low-carbon future.
Registration is free, and participants can log their ‘active travel’ journeys online throughout September, with a different theme each week of the month and a range of prizes and incentives up for grabs, including shopping vouchers and Translink tickets.
Find out more about signing-up to the Active Travel Challenge by visiting https://atc.getmeactive.org.uk/ or email [email protected].
