Why Go Car Free?

Breathe Easier. Feel Better. Reconnect.

By leaving the car behind, you’re doing more than cutting emissions. You’re boosting your health, saving money, and reducing congestion. Newcastle is coming together – institutions, businesses, schools, and families – to take a step (or pedal) in the right direction.

  • Improve heart health
  • Feel more energised
  • Save on fuel and parking
  • Reduce air pollution
  • Connect with Newcastle in a new way

How to Take Part

  1.    Leave your car at home – walk, cycle, take the Metro, bus or scooter.
  2.    Tell your school, workplace or friends – and encourage them to join you.
  3.    Share your journey – use #CarFreeNewcastle and tag us on socials.
  4.    Look for the posters – scan the QR code to explore live events and offers.
  5.    Enjoy the difference – a quieter, healthier, more connected city.
