Travel Plan Measures

and the Travel Plan Coordinator

Travel Plan Measures

The role of the Travel Plan Coordinator is critical to the effective implementation and operation of the Travel Plan and is responsible for ensuring that the measures set out in the Travel Plan are implemented from the outset.

For Travel Plans required as part of a planning approval, the Travel Plan measures will need to be agreed with the Local Planning Authority and/or the Local Transport Authority and should be tailored to the specific needs of the development.

Travel Plan measures usually follow the ‘Carrot and Stick’ approach, either aiming to encourage sustainable travel by offering benefits/incentives and also by introducing disincentives. Travel Plan measures are also often described as ‘hard’ and ‘soft’ measures, with ‘hard’ measures being the physical infrastructure that is designed into the development and ‘soft’ measures are things such as the provision of transport information and management practices. Examples of some of the Travel Plan Measures that may be introduced are as follows:

Benefits/Incentives
  • Provision of secure cycle parking, showers, lockers and changing facilities
  • Promoting car sharing
  • Offer staff the opportunity to work from home
  • Where possible recruit staff from the local area
  • Provide travel information
  • Take part in local and national events
Disincentives
  • Tighter car park management
  • Reduced mileage allowances
