Going Places - Darebin's Travel Rewards Scheme. • Come and join the club where you are

rewarded for making a difference on a local and global scale. The way we travel effects not only ourselves but our neighbours, people in the next street and people in the next suburb. Going Places is designed to reward you for making choices that reduce those impacts – not only on people but on the environment too.

• Going Places is designed to encourage you to walk, cycle, take public transport or car pool for two trips each week that you would usually do by car alone.
