Headline - What is a  travel plan?

A Travel Plan is a package of measures and initiatives that aim to reduce the number of car journeys made, by providing people with greater choice.

 

This is done through:

  • Providing realistic alternatives to the car

  • Making alternatives to driving alone more attractive

  • Reducing the need to travel

  • Managing car parking provision

A Travel Plan can address any of the following:

  • Commuter journeys

  • Business travel

  • Fleet management

  • Visitors to your site

  • Deliveries

Your Travel Plan will be specific to your location, and will need to take into account the nature of your business, existing alternatives, and the types of journey that your workforce makes.

Typically, the Plan will include measures such as providing cycle parking, offering discounted public transport tickets, starting up a car sharing scheme, or encouraging people to work at home.
