We offer help and advice with local public
transport information, promoting cycling and walking, car-sharing,
travel surveys and auditing your site. We also run
an award and grant scheme.
2carshare.com
is a free-to-use council-promoted car-sharing
scheme. It is already well established across the West of
England area with well over 7000 users. Free publicity materials
are available, including a
2carshare.com leaflet. A private car-sharing website for your
company or site, within 2carshare may be set up at a cost.
Travel Better Live Better is a free booklet, published annually
by the four West of England councils, outlining the main
sustainable travel options people have, their benefits and how to
get started. It includes a diary of sustainable travel and healthy
living events and an order form for maps and leaflets. To order
additional paper copies contact our
Sustainable
Travel team.
We can also supply free maps and leaflets such as the
North Somerset Cycle Map and North
Somerset Travel Map detailing all public transport within
the district. All our cycling resources are now also available on
Cyclewest. Please also refer
to our own cycling,
bus travel and
rail travel sections.
The West of England Travel Plan Awards
recognise your organisation's efforts in developing its travel
plan. The award process is designed to help you every step of the
way.
With a travel plan that has achieved measured results you could
join the previous Gold Award winners including
IKEA,
North Bristol NHS Trust,
Orange,
Sovereign Shopping
Centre, and
University of Bristol.
You may also qualify for a
Travel Plan Grant of up to £5000.
We are currently developing a Special Planning
Document with guidance for developers on our requirements
for travel plans for new or expanding developments. We expect a
draft consultation document to be available Autumn 2008. If you
would like to be involved please contact our
Sustainable
Travel team.
