Roskilde
Roskilde Festival provides a wide range of public transport information via their user-friendly website, including trains, free shuttle buses, local buses, ferries, flights and ride share. The effect of the direct to site buses and the train station located right at the festival site encourages high uptake of these options: 55 % arrive by public transport. Well-established on the festival scene, Roskilde Festival attracts audiences from countries all over Europe, and where airport information has been provided, it also recommends buying a CO2 quota as compensation for the flight, linking directly to carbon offset company Climate Care.
Roskilde Festival encourages people who are driving to bring a full carload of passengers to the festival, thereby reducing the impact of everyone travelling separately. The cars going to the festival had an average of 3.5 passengers in 2008 - well above average.
Festival goers can also sign up to their new climate campaign ‘Green Footsteps' which helps individuals monitor and record the impact of their time at the festival - including transport to and from the festival, eating on site, green camping and more. Festival goers can qualify for a central camping spot if they report their green footsteps before the festival.
