Green transport
Car travel accounts for around 11 percent of an average resident's emissions. Brisbane City Council encourages you to try and swap a weekly car trip for an alternative method.
Avoiding car travel is one of the best ways you can reduce emissions, plus it creates cleaner air and less congestion on the roads.

Council coordinates and encourages safe school travel to assist.
What Council is doing
Council undertakes many actions to reduce the impacts of transport around the city by offsetting the emissions of Council's vehicle fleet, investing in hybrid vehicles and low-emissions buses. Council also offers reduced parking fees for hybrid vehicles in King George Square car park.
