A travel plan is a long-term management strategy for development that seeks to minimise single-occupancy car trips (whilst maintaining accessibility for other modes) through a series of measures. The travel plan itself is articulated within a document that is regularly reviewed.
A travel plan doesn’t have to be restricted to commuter journeys. It can also include measures to reduce the cost of your business journeys and make your site easily accessible to visitors and deliveries to and from your premises. You could also adopt policies for more efficient management of company fleet vehicles, which will save you money.
Travel plans are equally applicable developments that both generate trips (i.e. housing) or attract trips (e.g. employment, leisure, services and facilities).
