What is a travel plan?
A travel plan sets out steps to encourage people to travel to and from an organisation by cycling, carpooling, walking or by public transport.
The focus is on promoting travel choices and reducing single occupancy car trips.
It's a concept that has already enjoyed considerable success in organisations overseas and is gaining significant results for staff in a pilot programme at North Shore City Council.
A travel plan can be straightforward to prepare but may require some creative thinking by employers as well as staff. As an example, the simple act of installing a cycle rack may result in an immediate increase in cycling to and from a workplace.
