Join Not Far? Leave the Car
Travelling around Renfrewshire in a way that is good for the environment and your neighbourhood deserves more than just a pat on the back. With the BetterPoints app your sustainable journeys can earn you rewards every time you walk, wheel, run, cycle, or use public transport.
Earning BetterPoints is easy! Download the BetterPoints app from the App Store or Google Play. It will track how you choose to get around and show how many points you’ve earned. You can turn your points into high street shopping vouchers or donate them to your favourite charity!
Not Far? Leave the Car is due to run in Renfrewshire until December 31 2022. It’s about encouraging people to get around sustainably and help create a cleaner, greener area by travelling in ways that benefit the environment, health and your community, as well as helping the local economy too!
