Worcestershire Climate Change Pledge

3 Star Actions

Action: Develop and implement a staff travel plan.

Implementing a staff travel plan can offer employees & visitors improved transport choice and reduce the need to travel, helping reduce congestion, improve air quality and promote sustainable travel. Travel choices offered may include bus, train, bicycles, walking, motorcycles and car sharing, to reduce reliance on single occupancy car travel for commuter journeys and business travel.

For guidelines on introducing a staff travel plan and the benefits of doing so, download Worcestershire County Council's Staff Travel Plan Guidance.
For advice on developing a travel plan, contact a Travel Plan Officer on 01905 768354 or email travelplans@worcestershire.gov.uk
Employers in the Worcester City area can also develop a staff travel plan as part of the Worcester Chose how you move project.
