Transition Black Isle looks forward to 2012 with a sustainable travel project

18 December 2011

 Transition Black Isle is still keeping active during the cold weather.  We have been putting together an ambitious bid for the Climate Challenge Fund called Black Isle Travel.

The aim is to cut car travel by local residents by 1 million miles per year by promoting more sustainable alternatives including cycling, walking, lift-share and public transport.

If successful we plan to run the project over three years.   The focus will be on lift sharing, cycling and public transport.  In the first year of the project we will concentrate on three Black Isle villages, and from this experience we will develop a programme to be run across the whole Black Isle in the following two years.

 

 

 

 

We are part of the rapidly expanding worldwide Transition Towns movement. The Black Isle is a peninsula of about 100 sq miles ENE of Inverness in Scotland, UK.
