• To reduce car use &  encourage islanders to leave their cars at home at least sometimes
• To help reduce  the carbon footprint of Bowen Islanders and the island as a whole
• To make preparations in our community for the impacts of Peak Oil (increased costs of energy and petroleum-based products)
• To help build a caring, cohesive community where people work to know and help each other
• To increase safety for cyclists and road-side pedestrians by reducing the number of vehicles on Bowen’s roads
