A community where everyone can get around by active or zero emissions transport
Our community goals for 2025 are:
1. A significant decrease in the proportion of Moreland residents driving to work.
2. A higher than average (Melbourne metropolitan) ownership of electric vehicles.
WHAT CAN I DO?
Riding, walking or catching public transport keeps us healthy, creates more vibrant local streets and helps us all move towards a zero carbon future. For those journeys we need to make by car, Moreland has a great network of public electric vehicle charging stations which are 100% renewably powered and free to use.
RIDE & STRIDE SCHOOLS
Ride & Stride is a schools behaviour change program designed to get more kids riding, striding and scooting in Moreland.
GET AROUND MORELAND ON FOOT AND BIKE
Moreland has an extensive network of on-road bike lanes and off-street shared use paths, for you to get around without using a car.
CATCH PUBLIC TRANSPORT
Trains, trams and buses get you across Melbourne and to major shopping areas like Brunswick, Coburg and Glenroy.
GET YOUR WORKPLACE OR SCHOOL WALKING OR RIDING MORE
We often travel to our workplace or school every day, which makes them great places to introduce sustainable transport initiatives.
JOIN A CAR SHARE PROGRAM
Choosing car share membership as an alternative to car ownership gives you access to a car when you really need it. It also provides a nudge to use a more sustainable travel option all other times.
USE AN ELECTRIC VEHICLE
If active or public transport options are not practical for your journey, an electric car or bike powered by renewable energy is the next best low emissions option.
