CASE STUDY: Wasps tenants – Scottish Contemporary Art Network (SCAN) – e-cargo bike share scheme

Scottish Contemporary Art Network (SCAN) – established an e-cargo bike share scheme in the Briggait; the pool bike is available to SCAN members and Wasps tenants to use in their day-to-day work for free, thanks to Cycling UK’s Cycle Share Fund.

The scheme comes at a time when artists and arts organisations across the country are in dire need of sustainable transport options to support their work. During the combined cost of living and climate crises, transport of heavy and cumbersome materials by car or taxi can be expensive and harmful to the environment. Providing a free means of transport actively cuts emissions, makes art making more accessible to more people, and allows budget-stretched arts organisations to cut transport costs, especially in Glasgow’s new Low Emission Zone.
