Local travel plan groups : a practical guide to setting up an effective group

posted on 2009-03-04, 14:49 authored by Marcus EnochMarcus Enoch, Lian Zhang, Sophie Tyler, Helen PearceShortly after becoming Mayor of London in July 2000, Ken Livingstone
noted that “the single biggest problem for London and Londoners is the
gridlock of our transport system” and that “remedying this will be my
first priority”. Although predominantly concerned with the inadequacy
of public transport in the capital, the Mayor added that “traffic speeds in
central London are now just 10 miles per hour, while congestion costs
London business £5 billion per year. Residents and commuters alike
suffer from delays, stress, discomfort and the overall poor urban
environment.”i
To help address these problems,Transport for London (TfL) is
encouraging businesses and other organisations to develop workplace
travel plans.
Developing and implementing a workplace travel plan requires
resources and expertise, so it can be easier for businesses located in the
same area to get together and form a local travel plan group.
This good practice guide sets out the process of establishing a local travel plan group, based on research conducted for the Optimum2
project in the London Borough of Southwark, in which the Better
Bankside Travel Plan Group was established (see Acknowledgments for
further information).
