We want to make it as easy as possible for you to
develop a high quality travel plan for your workplace or
organisation.
The best starting point is our
iTRACE system to find out how to run a travel survey,
produce a Travel Plan document and more.
Wherever you are based in the district car sharing provides one
of the best opportunities to reduce your organisation's reliance on
single occupancy car journeys. Our
2carshare.com system is a
council-promoted car-sharing scheme. It is well
established across the West of England area with
over 8000 users. Download
our car share leaflet (pdf, Mar 10, 402KB).
A private car-sharing website for your company or
site, within 2carshare, can also be set up at a cost.
Download the
Travel Smarter (pdf, Mar 12, 128KB)
leaflet published annually by the four West of England
councils, to find out about the main contacts and

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. Electric-assist cycles are
rapidly becoming more popular. Download
