Plymotion

Plymotion is a scheme that aims to make it easier for you to get around Plymouth by bus, by bike and on foot.

We are now a third of the way through the three year scheme which was launched in 2012 to introduce new walking and cycling links connecting the east and west of the city, including the restoration of the former Laira Railway Bridge.

We are also offering various incentives to encourage you to try greener, cheaper and healthier ways of getting from A to B, as well as providing a third of Plymouth’s households with their very own personal travel advisor.

In our first year we have completed the Finnigan Road junction upgrade works, delivered the first phase of our personalised travel planning programme for residents and employees in the East End, Mount Gould and St Judes areas, and launched Sky Ride Local rides in Plymouth as well as hosting a Sky Ride City event.

There’s plenty more to come in the next two years of the programme including construction of a new walking and cycling link across the former Laira Railway Bridge due to start at the end of the year, a cycle route through the city centre to the railway station along with the next phases of the Personalised Travel Planning programme and another Sky Ride Plymouth event.

These improvements will encourage and make it easier for you to travel more sustainably, whether you are on your way to work, going shopping or just getting out and about.

Plymotion on your doorstep will be starting again in May this year when the team will be visiting Devonport, Stonehouse, Keyham, the Barbican and the city centre areas. If you live in one of these areas you may be asked to complete a survey to help us find out more about how you travel at the moment.
