Sustainable travel isn’t just about getting from A to B it’s about transforming how we move through our communities. The Travel & Transport category of the Mole Valley Sustainability Awards celebrates the incredible individuals and organisations who are helping us rethink our journeys. Whether it’s cycling to work, choosing public transport, organising community walks, or switching to electric vehicles, these efforts are making travel cleaner, safer, and more accessible for everyone.
We’re proud to spotlight a few standout organisations that are leading the way in this space:
Encouraging active travel from a young age, this free, fun, and friendly weekly 2k event for juniors (aged 4 to 14) is helping children build healthy habits and confidence. It’s a brilliant way to get moving and connect with the local community—plus, it links beautifully with nearby Saturday parkruns for families.
Through their annual Walking Festival, Hello Dorking invites residents to explore the town on foot and discover its hidden gems without relying on cars. Their Steps Challenge encourages workers to leave their desks at lunchtime and opt for short walks instead of quick drives proving that small changes can make a big impact.
🚲 AS Active Surrey – Surrey Bike Bank
This initiative opens up cycling opportunities for residents who don’t own or regularly use a bike. By making bikes more accessible, it helps people improve their health, independence, and connection to the outdoors.
This charity empowers the community with hands-on bike maintenance skills. Whether it’s learning to service a bike or gaining experience for a career in cycle repair, their team of paid and volunteer mechanics recycle bikes and parts to reduce waste and promote sustainable transport.
Dedicated to making cycling inclusive and accessible, Bikes Revived refurbishes donated bikes for resale and teaches maintenance skills to all, including disadvantaged groups. Their mission is rooted in personal empowerment, healthier lifestyles, and environmental care making them a true force for good in Surrey.
These organisations are proving that sustainable transport is more than a trend it’s a movement. By encouraging active travel, reducing emissions, and promoting community connection, they’re helping Mole Valley move toward a brighter, greener future.
