That time of year has rolled around once again - as Freshers’ Week gets into full swing from this week, many new students up and down the country are sure to be bubbling with excitement as they prepare to start a new chapter in their lives.

Now in its fourth year running, we’re excited to see the return of Catch the Bus Week, an initiative run by Greener Journeys which celebrates and drives awareness of the benefits of catching the bus.

Green Transport Week is chance to celebrate sustainable transport and an opportunity for us all to consider the way we travel.

Myunijourney is a resource that we have developed for students across Wales to help them discover the different public transport options available to them in their University town or city.

As part of Road Safety Week, Brake have launched their ‘Drive Less, Live More’ campaign, encouraging us to think about our car use and what we can do to benefit from more sustainable modes of travel.
