New App Rewards Sustainable Travel in Leeds

Residents encouraged to earn vouchers through everyday journeys

A new initiative has been launched in Leeds to encourage sustainable travel by rewarding people for walking, cycling, wheeling, or using public transport. The BetterPoints West Yorkshire app, funded by the West Yorkshire Combined Authority, aims to promote healthier and more environmentally friendly travel habits across the region.

How the BetterPoints App Works

The app is available for free to anyone who lives, works, or studies in West Yorkshire. Users can collect points by recording journeys made on foot, by bike, or via bus or train. These points can then be exchanged for high-street vouchers or donated to charity, providing an incentive to choose greener travel options.

Key Features

• Free to download and use
• Rewards sustainable travel modes including walking, wheeling, cycling, and public transport
• Points can be redeemed for vouchers or donated to charitable causes
• Available to residents, workers, and students in West Yorkshire

The app is part of wider efforts by local authorities to reduce carbon emissions and improve public health by encouraging active and sustainable travel. It also supports local businesses through the voucher scheme.
