About us

Getabout is a joint project featuring several organisations who want to create a better transport system – and greater transport choices – in Aberdeen City and Shire.

It is co-ordinated by the Getabout campaign group which includes the regional transport partnership Nestrans, Aberdeen City Council, Aberdeenshire Council, Robert Gordon University, the University of Aberdeen, Aberdeen College, NHS Grampian, The Energy Savings Trust and Dyce Transportation Management Organisation.

Working together, the partners want to promote a healthy and sustainable transport choice for everybody travelling within the region, and beyond. All take steps to make active and sustainable forms of transport more accessible for their staff, their users and everybody in the north-east.

Did you know…?

• At present 80% of commuting cars in the north-east have only one occupant

• Half of all car trips are under five miles, with 62% of them under two miles.

By enabling you to consider options like car-sharing, taking the bus or train, cycling or walking for some trips - we can reduce congestion on the roads and everybody can enjoy the benefits.
