Ministers take their responsibility to travel sustainably very seriously. The data shows that Stewart Stevenson has undertaken a considerable amount of rail travel for commuting purposes. Since becoming a Minister in May 2007, Mr Stevenson seeks to avoid unnecessary car journeys, choosing to use the train, walking or taking the bus whenever possible. These journeys and costs cover a two year period and demonstrate the Minister's commitment to reducing emissions by using more sustainable forms of transport.
