Many businesses suffer from the same
problem; too many employees travelling to work by car. The problems
include:
- congestion around the site
- too few parking spaces
- parking problems moved on to local residents
- high cost of travel and parking for employer and employee
- employees delayed and stressed by traffic jams
Encouraging employees to cycle to work can help solve these
problems. And it can bring significant benefits for businesses,
such as:
- reducing pressure on parking on and around your site
- saving costs associated with parking provision for
employees
- reducing congestion around your site at peak times
- contributing to a heathier, less stressed, more productive
workforce
- improving your business's image in the community
Public transport
For many commuters, the distance to work is too far to cycle.
However, it may be possible for them to mix cycling and public
transport.
We are working with transport providers to give cyclists better
facilities and easier access to public transport. And we are seeing
an increasing number of cycle lockers, cycle access ramps and cycle
parking.
Travel plans
Cycling will not be suitable for all employees,
but it can play a significant role in a company Travel
Plan.
We can help you set up and promote a Travel Plan. For more
