This Travel Pack has been provided for you to browse through and find out about your local travel options. It aims to provide you with information on local facilities and transport services available, including details of how you can access them conveniently. WHAT IS A TRAVEL PLAN?

The purpose of a Travel Plan is to demonstrate a commitment to minimising the impact of travel on the environment by reducing the level of unnecessary travel and encouraging those who have to travel to do so in a more environmentally friendly way. The overarching aim of the Travel Plan is to promote greener, cleaner travel choices, reducing reliance on the private car. The Travel Plan is primarily aimed at the journey to and from work or journeys made during the course of the working day. It also considers travel issues relating to visitors.

A Travel plan can bring a range of benefits, not only to the community but to staff and the business implementing the plan. Benefits include a healthier, more productive workforce, cost savings to staff, reduced demand for on-site parking and less congestion locally.

A travel plan is a “live” on-going document, and as such are continually reviewed and updated. All occupying companies of Park will be encouraged to adhere to the principles of sustainable transport set out in the Travel Plan and issue this Travel Pack to all employees via the dedicated Travel Plan Coordinator

The principal objectives of the Travel Plan are:

Objective 1 – to develop a safe, convenient, efficient and attractive transport infrastructure which encourages and facilitates the use of walking, cycling and public transport and which minimises reliance on and discourages unnecessary use of private cars.

Objective 2 - to increase the role of walking and cycling as transport modes, in support of wider transport, health and social policy objectives.

Objective 3 - to actively promote car sharing between all new employees at the proposed development by creating a database of employee travel patterns prior to occupation. Car Sharing will be subject to the current Government guidelines surrounding COVID-19.

CYCLING

Cycling is a fast, cheap way of getting around. It is one of the easiest ways to keep fit without the expense of a gym membership. Regular cycling lowers the risk of heart disease, diabetes and helps to lose weight. National Cycle Route 52 is situated to the north west of Hinckley which runs north from Warwick through Coventry, Nuneaton and to link with National Route 6 just west of . In addition, the general topography of Hinckley is reasonably flat which will assist you in travelling by cycle!

You’ve heard of Park and Ride, but have you ever thought about Bike and Ride?

For commuting trips, even if you can’t cycle the whole way to work, perhaps you could consider cycling some of the way and using public transport for the remaining journey. Leicestershire County Council offer the 'Choose How you Move' website which includes a dedicated journey planner planner! There are also dedicated cycle clubs, guided rides and a list of nearby bike shops.

There are many advantages to using the local bus services. It allows for many people to share trips they might otherwise make individually by car.

By sharing trips, we can reduce harmful emissions and help sustain a cleaner, healthier environment. The bus is a great option for travelling to destinations not served by trains, for fun and stress-free days out for avoiding the stress of driving and parking at your destination.

A range of daily, weekly, and longer period season tickets are available. You can also buy a carnet-style ‘Ten Trip’ ticket, ideal for those working shifts or only travelling on certain days!
