Transport - journey planning
Travel plans
A travel plan is a set of measures that are designed to suit an
organisation's specific transport needs. Its aim is to reduce the
number of regular journeys made by car, particularly car journeys
with a single occupant.
We can help you plan, create and put in
place a travel plan that works for you, your employees and
visitors.
A travel plan may include:
- a car share scheme
- a commitment to improve cycling
facilities
- a dedicated bus service
- car park management
- flexible working practices.
Large organisations may find they can benefit
from using a variety of new travel initiatives.
Small organisations may find they only need to
make one or two very simple changes to make a big
difference.
A good quality travel plan should be specific
to an individual site; however, the principles of an effective
travel plan are the same, whatever the location or nature of your
company or organisation.
These principles include:
- an assessment of existing travel patterns,
using staff travel surveys
- business characteristics, for example size,
location and number of people employed
- development of an action plan
- implementation of agreed measures
- monitoring and review of results.
