There are better ways to get around than being stuck behind the wheel of a car with a carbon-emitting engine.
And there are so many great places in Surrey to enjoy walking, cycling, or even boating. In fact, 76% of journeys under a mile and 37% of journeys between 1 to 2 miles in Surrey are made by walking and cycling (Local Transport Plan (LTP4) – Surrey County Council).
There are many different benefits for choosing active modes of travel over driving. Benefits include:
Improving your health with increased physical activity.
Saving money on fuel.
Mitigating the effects of climate change by reducing the amount of carbon in your neighbourhood.
Creating a safer and cleaner neighbourhood by reducing the number of cars on the road.
Reducing noise pollution caused by car use. 
Walk, scoot, cycle, or jog instead of emitting CO₂ for short journeys. In Surrey, you can earn gift cards while reducing carbon emissions and improving your health.
