Sustainable Travel Plans
A Sustainable Travel Plan is a way of managing how people
travel to a particular area or organisation. It may consist of a
single initiative, such as encouraging car sharing or use a
co-ordinated package of measures to encourage more sustainable ways
of travelling.
The overall purpose of
a Sustainable Travel Plan is to reduce the demand for travel
by managing the use of vehicles and making journeys more
efficient.
A Sustainable Travel Plan can
incorporate:
- staff travel to and from the
workplace
- business travel
- travel by visitors, contractors
and deliveries
- vehicle fleets
A Sustainable Travel Plan will
usually involve initiatives to reduce the number of people who
drive alone. These can include:
- promoting the use public
transport
- providing facilities to enable
more staff to walk and cycle
- promoting vehicle sharing
- introducing alternative work
practices such as working from home
We have produced a Travel Plan in
line with our Environmental Policy.
