Advice for Government Departments Travel plans help reduce the impact of travel on the environment. They also make good business sense. Plans can cut congestion around a site, and save money on business travel. They may even help make the workforce healthier.
Plans can take a variety of forms to suit the particular site.
We are encouraging businesses, schools, hospitals, local authorities and other major employers to adopt travel plans of their own. So the Government needs to show we are practising what we preach. The White Paper A New Deal for Transport set a target for Government departments to have plans in place for all their headquarters buildings by March 1999, and for all other key buildings by March 2000. I am very pleased with progress so far and would like to thank all of those who have put in time and effort ensuring that we do our bit . But producing plans is by no means the end of the process.
