Sustainable Transport

Transport Logo

We tend to take travelling in and around Hamilton for granted, expecting to get to and from where we need to go with ease. But with traffic volumes in Hamilton rising and the city's population set to grow by 26% in the next 16 years, the number of cars on our roads and the amount of congestion we suffer will undoubtedly get worse.

We need to start embracing alternatives to our cars.

The purpose of information on this page is to improve community knowledge of the wide range of travel options in Hamilton. Learn of the pressures our vehicles are placing on our road network, about the pollution created by vehicle emissions to parking and congestion problems, and be prompted to question our travel behaviour and choices. Before getting into the car, how many of us ask ourselves if we need to make that trip?
