Travel Plans

Why do I need a Travel Plan?

  • To fulfil a planning application? Further information can be obtained from the following website:- Government's Planning Policy Guidance
  • To enhance my environmental credentials?
  • As part of my Environmental Management Systems accreditation?
    For many organisations it may be appropriate to implement an Environmental Management System (EMS) to identify, measure, manage and monitor 'in house' environmental impacts (e.g. waste, water, energy).

    Within the EMS, organisations may consider setting corporate performance targets in relation to travel and fuel consumption.

    Organisations can gain external accreditation for the EMS, which demands continuous improvement (EMAS or ISO 14001).
  • To solve a specific problem such as overcrowding in the car park?
