Travel Plans
A Travel Plan is a way of managing how people and goods travel to a particular site. Could a Travel Plan help your business? Find out how to get started and where to get help.
The main aims in developing a travel plan are to:
- Reduce the number of (single occupancy) vehicle journeys
- Promote and encourage travel by more sustainable modes
- Reduce the need to travel at all
Why are we developing travel plans?
- Steadily increasing road traffic is producing unsustainable levels of congestion meaning that journeys become slower, more unreliable and stressful
- Levels of air and noise pollution are worsening - cars are a leading source of greenhouse gases which lead to global warming
- Our health is suffering through increased pollution and road traffic accidents and the associated reduction in physical activity
- Improvements to infrastructure & information make workplaces and facilities more accessible for all
What are the main benefits?
- Savings on travel & fleet costs
- Improved health and well being
- Improved air quality and noise pollution levels
- Improved travel options for all in the local area
- Easier access to site for visitors and deliveries
