Making a difference with Workplace Travel Plans
Sep

Employers are becoming more interested in encouraging their employees to leave their cars at home.
Many companies have become burdened by employees expecting a car with their salary package. But if businesses can encourage alternatives instead, they can benefit themselves and the environment. Cutting down on the number of company cars means employers need less parking provision and can use the additional floor space for more productive purposes.
Workplace travel plans encourage people to make more sustainable transport choices by offering incentives and choices that encourage employees to reduce their car use. The types of incentives and choices being provided in workplace travel plans include:
- Public transport fare subsidies and passes – a cheaper alternative for the company and an incentive for employees to choose public transport over operating a car with its fuel, parking, and running costs
- Personalised travel information and marketing material V Better bus stop facilities at the workplace
- Car park space allocation that favours car sharers
- Flexitime, homeworking and teleworking – all of which make it possible to leave the car at home some of the time; travel at times of least congestion or use public transport at a more convenient time of day
- Local area cycling and walking route information
- Car pool mileage clubs rewarding those who reduce car us
- Provision of a pool of bikes for use to and from home
- Provision of low-emission vehicles for staff
- Public transport service announcements and other real-time information
- Public transport, walking, and cycling events (breakfasts, lunches, seminars, and so on)
- Timetables and links to interactive trip planners.
- Facilitating better relationships between staff and management
- Improving the ability to retain and attract staff
- Boosting the company image in the community for adopting sustainable approaches
- Saving money by subsidising employee public transport rather than providing cars as part of salary packages.
