About BetterPoints York
BetterPoints York is an initiative that encourages people to walk, cycle, and use public transport.
The programme, supported by City of York Council, rewards people for choosing active and sustainable travel. By tracking journeys through the BetterPoints app, users can earn points.
These points can be:
- Spent at local businesses
- Converted into rewards
- Donated to charity
As a result, the scheme helps people build healthier habits while supporting the local community.
