Benefits of Travel Plans in the NHS
A Travel Plan can benefit NHS sites in many ways:
Save Money
A Travel Plan can reduce the cost of running a fleet, staff travel costs and mileage claims and the cost of providing and maintaining parking spaces.
Your site may also benefit from grant funding for Travel Plan measures. Contact us for free advice.
Improved Accessibility
A Travel Plan can improve accessibility for patients and visitors and improve the recruitment and retention of staff.
Meeting Targets
A Travel Plan can help organisations meet health and well-being, environmental and Corporate Social Responsibility targets.
A Travel Plan is also required to achieve the Corporate Health Standard.
Meet Planning Obligations
A Travel Plan may be a requirement when making planning applications to expand or relocate premises.
Partnership Working
A successful Travel Plan usually means working in partnership with other organisations such as the local authority, local community groups and transport providers.
A positive image can also be enhanced through improved air quality, reduced congestion and better local transport links around the site.
