Workplace travel plans

Travelling to and from work

Workplace travel plans help employers and their staff save money on everything to do with transport. They are plans which improve the economic, safety, social, health and environmental consequences of our travel choices. They plan actions to reduce transport costs whilst increasing walking, cycling, bus use, train use and car sharing.

Results include better:

  • staff health, morale and productivity
  • staff recruitment and retention
  • access for customers
  • public image
  • relationships with local residents
  • business mileage
  • use of travel time
  • car parking
  • and:
  • not having to buy more land for car parking
  • selling parking land, or making better use of it

Contact us for help with:

  • producing a travel plan for your site
  • doing staff and customer travel surveys
  • providing cycle, walking and bus route maps and information for your workplace and staff
  • advice for planning cycle and pedestrian friendly developments
  • business travel grants (e.g. for cycle parking)
  • writing positive news stories about your achievements in reducing emissions
  • helping you implement your travel plan's action plan

Employers throughout Europe have successfully reduced car use and saved money as a result of implementing travel plan actions. You can be one of them!
