Travel Plans have captured the attention and imagination of some of the most prominent companies in Greater Manchester such as Manchester Airport, RAC and the Royal Mail, and some of the smallest, such as those at Houldsworth Mill. These employers have realised the benefits that having a Travel Plan can bring.

A Travel Plan for your
organisation can:

• Save you money on:

-	the costs of running a fleet
-	mileage claims and other staff travel costs
-	the cost of providing and maintaining parking spaces (for your employees)

• Reduce problems caused by shortages in parking, without having to spend tens of thousands of pounds on providing additional spaces

• Reduce congestion on and around your site, improving your image to both customers and neighbours

• Improve accessibility to your site for your workforce (aiding recruitment and retention), your customers and your deliveries

• Assist when making planning applications to expand or relocate your premises

• Improve the health, productivity and morale of your workforce

In addition to this, each Greater Manchester district council employs a Travel Co-ordinator who can give you free advice and help in starting up your Travel Plan (see ‘What help is available’ for contact details).
