What is a Travel Plan?

A Travel Plan is a package of measures that promotes the choice of travel for employees, residents and visitors and seeks to alleviate the impact of single occupancy car travel on the local environment. Travel plans are aimed at commuting and work-based travel, to encourage staff, residents and visitors to choose alternatives to single occupancy car use and to reduce the need to travel to and from their work or visitor destination. A Travel Plan can cover issues such as encouraging and promoting the use of public transport, the provision of cycling facilities, establishing car sharing databases and highlighting health issues. It encourages employees and visitors to share their car, walk, cycle or use public transport, whilst retaining a realist approach in encouraging travel change.

We have now worked with Encon Associates for 3 years and have an excellent relationship with them – we would highly recommend them to any size organisations as they have the capability to work small or large scale.

The scope of skills/services that Encon Associates provide are fantastic, kept all neatly under one roof, which again is a bonus when coordinating our developments.

May our great relationship continue in to the future.
