Local Travel Plan Groups : are these the way forward for travel plans?
Travel plans are attractive to local government
because they are quick and cheap to introduce
and are politically uncontroversial. They are thus
an ‘easy win’, in marked contrast to most other
transport improvement schemes. But, travel
plans are dependent on other organisations being
motivated to participate in helping to solve
something that ‘is not their problem’ – a major
obstacle to their widespread adoption. One
possible way of overcoming some of the barriers
eg company self interest, internal organisational
barriers, poor quality alternatives to the car etc, is
to form some kind of ‘Local Travel Plan Group’
(LTPG). This paper examines some examples of
how such groups operate.
