Guernsey is joining in with Alternative Transport Week so that this year the event takes place accross the Channel Islands. A huge shout out to atw.org.uk, the creators of the initiative, for helping us bring it to life in Guernsey.

ATW challenges all islanders to ditch their normal way of getting around for a week and either bus, cycle or walk to work or school. #ATWguernsey

ATW is good for business
A small change in how we get around can have a big impact:
We know that alternative and active travel can help improve our fitness, health, mental wellbeing and productivity. Its also better for the environment, saves money and reduces traffic which in turn increases safe access.
