Travel Planning benefits everyone, by saving money for businesses and making travelling easier, cheaper and less stressful for employees.

Developing a Travel Plan doesn't need to be difficult; in fact, it's remarkably easy to acheive big successes with moderate effort. To make it even simpler, this section contains lots of information to help you develop a Travel Plan or implement measures for your organisation. A travel plan is basically a strategy for how you are going to reduce the impact of travel.

It normally has set targets which are used to produce a ‘toolkit' of measures to encourage people to use alternatives to single-occupancy car-use. Measures within the plan could include:

• car sharing schemes
• improved cycle facilities
• bus services
• priority car parking allocations for those with more than one passenger
• promotion of flexible working practices such as working from home and video conferencing
