What does your business do if it has no car parking facilities or wants to reduce car journeys to the work site?
- It can put together a travel plan.
A travel plan is a package of measures produced by employers to encourage staff to use alternatives to single-occupancy car-use.
A travel plan can cover a large area, an organisation, a workplace, a school, a residential area or maybe just an individual wanting to reduce car travel. A travel plan uses various Smarter Choices initiatives to promote alternative ways of travelling to a location.
For example:
- Perhaps the Car Share South Yorkshire website could be promoted to your employees
- Maybe the purchase of cycles and bus tickets could be made easier – and cheaper
- Information and materials could be provided to help people make better choices
- You might even have to write a travel plan as part of seeking planning permission from your local council.
