There is currently a high level of high car use in the town for short trips. Cars account for the vast majority of commuting trips while commuting on foot to education is significantly higher than commuting on foot to work. Cycling accounts for a very low number of commuting trips - primarily due to poor infrastructure. There is much opportunity and potential (given the increasing and young population and the expected continued large number of remote workers) to improve the walking and cycling infrastructure in Portarlington – thereby making the town more sustainable and accessible for this and future generations.
