Introduction

The Government's Energy Efficiency Best Practice Programme, in partnership with the Association for Commuter Transport, are currently organising a series of free seminar on travel plans. The seminars will be a half-day in duration and will begin with a light lunch.

Increasingly, organisations are recognising the commercial benefits of taking action on commuter and business journeys, and implementing measures to reduce the reliance of their staff on single occupancy car travel. Often these measures are implemented as part of an overall travel management strategy, otherwise known as a travel plan.

Seminar Content

The seminars will highlight the reasons for developing a travel plan and the benefits that can accrue to both employers and employees. The seminars will help you to:

• Learn about the benefits of travel plans
• Understand how a travel plan can be implemented and how to develop partnerships, drawing upon the recently published Travel Plan Resource Pack and other publications aimed at suppliers of travel plan products and services
• Learn from the experiences of other organisations in your area who have introduced travel plans
• Find out about the sources of assistance and information available to help you implement a travel plan

There will be speakers from:

• Association for Commuter Transport
• Steer Davies Gleave
• Halcrow Fox
• Local organisations from your region involved with travel plans

Who Should Attend?

These seminars are free of charge and open to all organisations wishing to tackle their transport problems and reduce their transport costs, including:

• Organisations wishing to reduce their transport costs and improve their environmental performance
• Organisations experiencing parking or site accessibility problems
• Organisations seeking planning permission for the development of a site
• Local authorities
• Business advisory organisations such as Business Links and Chambers of Commerce
• Public transport operators
• Other suppliers of products and services that could support the implementation of travel plans
