The low-carbon commute toolkit

Ways to use the toolkit

We made this toolkit for organisations to use internally, though feel free to use any of the posters or other images on your social media, if you want to share what your organisation is doing to encourage cleaner commuting.

• If your office gathers to do the daily quiz, add our transport quiz to the mix and see who's the most clued-up.
• Put the posters up in high-traffic areas - the coffee machine, inside lifts and stairwells, anywhere someone might need a diversion for a few moments!
• Using the desktop backgrounds, email signature and intranet tiles will show a really strong commitment to low-carbon transport, but you'll need to tell your staff why you're committed, and bring them along on the journey.

Some thought starters for an internal email or intranet post:

• Tell your staff why cleaner commuting is important to the business: does it align with your values? Will it improve staff wellbeing? What's in it for them?
• Reinforce and congratulate staff for the clean commuting that's already going on - use the stats in our posters to let people know how much carbon they're saving by using active or public transport (or working from home).
• And use the research in the toolkit to show people they're not alone - more people want to drive less, and bus or bike more.
• Offer incentives, where you can.
• Be inclusive. There will be people who, for all sorts of reasons, have to use a car. We know that public and active transport won't be for everyone, but if people who can use it, do, it's better for all of us, including drivers.
