posted on 2008-06-04, 15:53 authored by Sophie Tyler, Marcus EnochMarcus Enoch, Lian ZhangAny group of organisations that comes together to share resources and ideas for developing
and implementing a travel plan (site based Transportation Demand Management plan, known
as a Travel Plan in the UK) in their local area could be described as a local travel plan group.
Whilst the concept is not new for workplace travel planning in North America, recently
several new variants have been established in the UK.
This paper reviews and sets out a typology of local travel plan groups, including
development zones, area based groups, Transportation Management Associations and
Business Improvement Districts. It then highlights the case of London, where, perhaps
uniquely, at least one example of each type of group is present. One new example is then
examined in more detail to illustrate some of the challenges in setting up a local travel plan
group and the way in which they may develop in the future to providing a framework for
involving businesses in local transport improvement decisions. Finally, the main
characteristics of the London groups and how they differ from their North American
predecessors are briefly explored.
