WorkPlace Travel Plans
Workplace Travel Plans
Traffic congestion costs UK businesses £22 billion a year (Source: CBI). Providing sustainable travel options for employees and customers makes good business sense. It can save time, improve the environment and when you add the associated costs like staff expenses, car park charges and fleet management costs, it offers financial savings too. A travel plan can be a valuable part of the organisation's 'Corporate Social Responsibility Policy' (CSR) or 'Carbon Reduction Strategy' (CRS). You can also help improve your organisation's efficiency and productivity by giving your staff wider travel options.
These include:
- Car sharing
- Public transport
- Cycling and walking
- Reducing the need to travel through home and flexible working
If you need help in setting up a 'workplace travel plan' - a business management tool that develops and promotes sustainable travel options for your staff saving your organisation and employees time and money, then join ACTTravelWise today.
