Definition of a Travel Plan 1.4 The National Guidance on Travel Planning and Decision-taking states that a Travel Plan is “a long-term management strategy for an occupier or site that seeks to deliver sustainable transport objectives through positive action and is articulated in a document that is regularly reviewed”. 1.5 A TP involves the development of agreed targets and outcomes which are linked to an appropriate package of measures aimed at reducing the need to travel, encouraging more sustainable travel, and reducing single occupancy car use, for all trips to and from the development. 1.6 This TP contains a set of recommendations for the necessary aims, objectives, targets and measures to reduce the number of single occupancy car trips generated by the proposed development and increase the number of pedestrian, cycle and public transport trips. It also includes proposed methods for implementing and monitoring travel patterns and updating the Travel Planning report over a five-year period. 1.7 Once operational, the TP would deliver the following: • Partnership approach to influence the travel behaviour of future residents to and from the site; • Safe and viable alternatives to single occupancy car travel to the site and to work; • Fewer vehicle trips and a reduction in overall vehicle mileage; • Inform future residents of the social, environmental and economic costs of their travel choices, and; • Improved accessibility for all.
