Transport uses more energy than industry. Reduce your transport energy usage by:

• creating a Green Transport plan, which encourages employees to use their cars more wisely, and provides incentives to use alternative methods of transport; government tax breaks may be available
• encouraging car/van pooling
• providing undercover secure storage for bicycles
• providing shower and changing facilities for employees who wish to cycle, jog or walk to work
• considering teleworking
• trying to buy items produced locally, to reduce transport energy use
• changing or modifying your fleet of vehicles to use a cleaner fuel. You can get grants to help with this, and the more companies who do this, the more practically and economically viable it will become!

Reasons for switching to cleaner fuels include:

• fuel costs can be cut by a third
• you can get a road and company car tax reduction
• image enhancement for your company
• some vehicles avoid paying the London Congestion Charge
• a standard-fuel car produces its own weight in CO2 every 6000 miles
• transport produces around 25% of the UK's C02 emissions
