Workplace travel plans
We encourage businesses to implement travel plans to promote greener, cleaner travel choices.
These include measures to enable staff to choose alternatives to single-occupancy car-use. Suggestions include:
- setting up a car-sharing scheme
- providing cycle facilities
- negotiating improved bus services
- offering attractive flexible-working practices
- restricting and/or charging for car parking
For a travel plan to be successful, it must suit the needs of your organisation. It must have the full backing of management and staff at all levels.
Benefits of a travel plan
A travel plan will incur some costs but the wider benefits include:
- reduced journey times and costs
- improved health and morale of the workforce
- enhanced environmental company image
- avoidance of future parking and congestion charging
- reduced demand for on-site parking
