We have our own travel plan called change1journey.
Our aim is to reduce journeys by car and encourage more sustainable
modes of travel both for journeys to and from work and journeys
made on council business.
As one of the largest employers in the district we have a
special responsibility to address the environmental impacts of the
journeys we create.
We also have a responsibility to work with other employers in
the district to encourage them to develop their own travel plans.
We must therefore lead by example and change our own habits
first.
Our travel plan encourages the use of more sustainable modes of
transport and improves the choice of travel options for all council
employees and councillors.
change1journey aims to change everyone's travel
behaviour and reduce car use for commuting by 11% by 2011. If all
employees and councillors change1journey just two
or three times a month, we will meet this target.
We acknowledge we have a long way to go in achieving this. The
first measures have now been introduced and a solid foundation
provided for our travel plan. This has been recognised through the
award of a Bronze Award in the 2008 West of England Travel Plan
Awards.
