Travel Plans

Includes sustainable travel guidance for residential developments, businesses and schools

Workplace Travel Plans

New or growing business developments with 50 or more employees will need a Travel Plan. New businesses with fewer employees may need one where:

  • the development will have a significant impact on the local road network
  • there are existing transport, infrastructure, congestion or pollution problems

We support developers, business owners, and transport consultants to create, implement and monitor Workplace Travel Plans.

Our Travel Plan templates can be used to help you create a Plan for your development. Guidance notes are also available to help.
