Smarter Travel Choices

Cars on the road

If you travel to work by car every day you are having to foot the bill for the cost of your car, road tax and petrol. 

Why not register with the Car Share Scheme and take a couple of passengers to contribute to the cost of running your car? Not only will you be saving money, you will be helping to ease traffic congestion and aiding the environment. 

If you are a passenger, imagine having all the convenience of a motor car journey to work for only a fraction of the cost? Car Sharing is a smart travel choice.

Benefits of Registering with the Eastbourne Car Sharing Scheme...

Car Pools

Alternatively, if you take the kids to school every morning why not get together with some of the other parents and organise a car pool, taking it in turns to do the school run so you only have to do it once a week instead of every day?

Elsewhere In this section...

  • Public Transport. A full range of information about public transport, with links to bus and rail operators, to help you plan your own unique daily travel.

  • National Concessionary Bus Pass Scheme. Find out how to apply for a National concessionary bus pass.

  • Parking. If you do travel by car, take a look at our lists of all parking areas in Eastbourne, showing the number of spaces (including disabled) and the fees for those spaces where you have to pay. Residents of Eastbourne can also find out how to obtain a parking permit.

Travel Impact Calculator

You can calculate how each of your journeys affect the environment, your health and your pocket, using the interactive Travel Impact Calculator - a new website developed by East Sussex County Council.

The Car Cost Calculator shows people the real annual cost of owning and running a private car.

The Calorie Calculator works out the number of calories burned off by walking or cycling - and what that equates to in terms of chocolate, crisps, beer or wine.

Walking

A good way to help the environment and keep healthy too is to enjoy Eastbourne's downland walks.

Access For All

People with disabilities can use the Related Pages menu to visit our Access For All section.  It includes guides, maps, information on parking and toilets, plus details of the Access For All South Downs Trail.

Eastbourne Urban Area Local Transport Plan

Finally, Eastbourne Borough Council has engaged in extensive discussion and consultation with a wide range of transport users and providers to create the Eastbourne Urban Area Local Transport Plan (EUALTP).

Further details can be found on the Eastbourne Urban Area Local Transport Plan in this section.
