Welcome to Smarter Travel Solihull

The Smarter Travel Solihull project has now been completed, a newsletter will soon be published here giving information on the results of the project.

The idea of Smarter Travel Solihull was simple: There are lots of benefits to be gained from making small changes to the way you travel. By walking, cycling or using the bus or train more often, we can all become healthier, make our streets safer, the air cleaner and Solihull a nicer, healthier place to live, work and have fun! 

Personal Travel Planning 

Do you need a little encouragement to make a change? Our Smarter Travel Solihull Travel Advisor Team can provide you with FREE advice on travelling around Solihull on foot, by bike, by public transport or car sharing! From late May to early July Smarter Travel Solihull's Travel Advisor Team will visit 8,000 households in the Shirley and Cranmore areas of the town encourage residents to think about how they currently travel and the small changes they can make.

We'll do our best to contact you by household visit but if you have received a "we've missed you" leaflet and still want to talk to a Travel Advisor, please contact us using the contact details shown.
