Helping the wider community to reduce the need to travel and save money.
Whether your concerns are maintaining road space for essential trips, reducing carbon emissions or helping local businesses reduce operating costs, Halcrow will help you identify a package of low cost, easy to implement measures to achieve your goals. We can also assist you with the ongoing monitoring and implementation of these.
We tailor our toolkit of travel planning techniques to address the challenges of traveling to or from workplaces, educational establishments, visitor attractions or homes, along with managing trips across an area. Also we were the founders of rail station travel plans.
The range of travel planning techniques we can help you with include:
- best practice guidance
- travel plans
- area-wide travel plans and networks
- behavioural change campaigns
- personalised travel planning
- smarter working practices
- carbon management strategies
As well as identifying the correct policy direction for your area we are able to look at the effectiveness of each individual measure, either as a standalone project or part of a wider strategy.
Halcrow believes that the success of travel planning depends on identifying local issues and incorporating the right measures to meet those needs. We are proud to think outside of the box, recognising that the right solution may require a combination of transport and non-transport solutions. Also we work hard to promote joint working between local authorities, public transport operators, local businesses, community groups and residents.
Halcrow sees the benefits in this area at first hand through the significant financial and wider rewards from a number of our office travel plans. In fact our achievements were recognised in the joint 2010 National Business Travel Network / Business in the Community Regional Sustainable Travel Awards.
