Travel Planning and Advice
A travel plan is a long term management strategy for a site, group of sites or organisation which contains a package of measures to:
- reduce the need to travel (especially as a single occupant in a car)
- promote more environmentally friendly modes of transport by offering a range of travel choices
- include other measures such as tackling car parking management and site access problems.
How can travel plans help?
The associated benefits of a travel plan are that they can help:
- reduce travel costs and expenses
- improve site access and reduce car parking problems
- improve company's image
- improving staff well-being, health and fitness as well as the environment
- build better relationships with the local community, public transport operators and the local authority.
