Travelsmart
TravelSmart is a voluntary travel behaviour change program aimed at encouraging people to drive less and walk, cycle, catch public transport and carpool more. By reducing the number of people driving in congested traffic conditions and increasing the use of public transport we can help reduce greenhouse gas production, local air pollution and traffic congestion.
To help you travel more sustainably why not visit our website for some great tips such as cycling to the Melbourne Campus at Burwood. You will also find public transport timetables and information on concessions. Keep this page as a regular favourite for all the latest competitions, events and the most recent developments at Deakin.
Ride to uni day
Cycle to the Melbourne Campus at Burwood and you can improve your health, save money and reduce your footprint on the environment!

There will also be workshops on basic bicycle maintenance plus free health checks for those who participate.
