RESIDENTS are being encouraged to find out more about a new free app which helps them plan their journeys across Essex sustainably.

The TravelEssex app, which is part of Essex County Council’s Safer, Greener, Healthier approach to travel, enables users to search and plan journeys by train, bus, walking and cycling.

The County Council has released a short animated film which shows the TravelEssex app in action and explores its key features. The animation is available on Youtube at:

Residents can also download the TravelEssex from the relevant app store or find out more at www.travelessex.co.uk
