Travel to and from work impacts not only on our health but on our environment and surrounding communities.
Workplace travel plans aim to identify the travel habits of an organisation’s staff and to create targets which reduce dependence on the car.
Travel plans encourage the use of more environmentally friendly (or sustainable) modes of transport such as car sharing, walking, cycling and public transport.
Examples of travel plan measures include:
- Setting up car sharing schemes
- Offering flexible working hours
- Restricting and/ or charging for car parking.
- Providing cycling facilities such as secure storage, lockers and showers.
- Providing information on local public transport.
