Sustainable Travel Solutions

There are a wide ranges of measures and initiatives which can be used as potential solutions to tackling unnecessary single occupancy car journeys.  These can include setting up a car sharing scheme, walking or cycling groups, providing cycling facilities, participating in national events such as Walk to Work days and many more.

The most comprehensive solution to embracing sustainable travel measures is to write and implement a Travel Plan.

A Travel Plan is a package of initiatives tailored to meet the needs of an individual business or organisation with the aim of promoting sustainable travel choices and reducing reliance on car-use.

A Travel Plan is now often a requirement for  major new planning applications.  However, Travel Plans do not have to be secured only through the planning process and many organisations are now undertaking voluntary travel plans as a solution to their transport and travel concerns, and to demonstrate their corporate and social responsibility.

There are guides available on how to write a good travel plan for your organisation. A selection of travel plan guidance documents are available to download for free on this website. There are also a wide variety of organisations that can offer advice on creating and implementing an effective travel plan at your organisation, with links to these included on the following page.
