Take travel planning seriously, with our bespoke workplace service. Whether you’re satisfying a planning condition, improving parking arrangements for your staff, or want to reduce your business’s environmental footprint, we can provide you with a policy-proficient plan to be proud of.
What is a travel plan for?
A travel plan for your workplace can revolutionise how your staff travel to and from work. It’s a long-term strategy for reducing traffic originating from a place of business, particularly single-occupancy car journeys.
A well-considered travel plan, put together by experts, can make all the difference in encouraging your staff to use public transport, car-share with their colleagues, cycle and walk.
Why do I need one
A bespoke travel plan can:
1.
Ensure your site meets relevant planning conditions and obligations, and that if you’re developing, you get the consent you need to start work.
2.
Ensure a new business location is not a burden on the local highway network.
3.
Improve staff health and wellbeing, by encouraging walking, cycling, car-sharing, and more sustainable modes of transport.
4.
Improve accessibility and staff safety on their commute.
5.
Reduce congestion and improve air quality by reducing car usage, leading to a cleaner, greener workplace and surrounding area.
