Transport
The transport is one of the single largest contributors to Climate Change, and in 2022 transport accounted for 27% of Swale's total greenhouse gas emissions. To achieve net-zero, everyone will need to make some changes to how they travel, but there is no reason this cannot be positive for our health, happiness, and planet.
Tips on how to minimise your impact on the environment whilst travelling
What are we doing?
At Swale Borough Council we are being proactive in ensuring the transition to low emission, healthy, and safe transport. We are the only district authority in Kent to have a dedicated Active Travel Coordinator.
Transport in Swale accounts for nearly 27% of the borough's emissions, and contributes to wider issues such as poor air quality. Through the 2025 Climate and Ecological Emergency Action Plan, we hope to support a modal shift towards active travel and transport, working with our partners to develop an integrated transport system.
