Travel Plans
The Local Transport Plans for Leicestershire and Central Leicestershire aim to reduce traffic problems in sustainable ways by developing transport measures, such as facilities for public transport, walking and cycling and necessary highway schemes. They promote the development of measures to persuade people to change their travel behaviour and use their cars less. Key amongst these are Travel Plan initiatives.
A travel plan is a package of measures to develop sustainable travel within an organization, including schools, with the emphasis on reducing reliance on car travel for trips to work or school, trips by visitors, deliveries etc and promoting use of greener fleet vehicles. An effective travel plan can also reduce transport costs, contribute to better health, and improve an organisation's image.
The measures applied vary but usually include providing safe and secure cycle parking, lockers and showering facilities, encouraging car sharing, use of pool vehicles, negotiating public transport discounts etc
Initiatives are being developed locally. Some are voluntary with others required as part of a planning permission for new developments generating significant travel movements.
