The UK

12、 Department ofTransport has concluded that, on average, travel planscan reduce the number of single-occupancy vehicletrips to a destination by 18% (Smarter Choices 2).Reductions in traffic levels of this magnitude at peaktime can make a huge difference to easing trafficflows, increasing the reliabil

13、ity of journey times andimproving the commuting experience. Travel plans arespecifically recommended in Planning Policy Guidance13: Transport 3The King Review 4 reiterated the recommendation inthe 2004 White Paper that all government departmentsshould reduce car commuting by 5% by 2006.The Eddington

14、 Report 1 on transport carried out for the UK government emphasized the clear linksbetween a high performing transport system andsustained economic prosperity. It argued that a 5%reduction in travel time for all businesses and freighttravel on the roads could generate around 2.5 billionof costs savi

15、ngs some 0.2% of GDP.Eddington also argued that if left unchecked, the risingcost of congestion would have a considerable impacton the UK economy, for example it is estimated that it would waste an extra 22 billion of time in Englandalone by 2025. By this date 13% of all traffic will besubject to st

17、 BSI November 2008ivWhat is a travel plan?The original concept of travel planning came from theprivate sector in response to business pressures andhave matured considerably since they first appeared in the UK in the early 1990s. They now provide acoherent approach to transport management thatbrings

18、benefits to commuters, business travellers,businesses and the urgent need to address climatechange, congestion and air pollution problems.A travel plan is a long-term management strategy foran organisation and its various sites or business parkthat seeks to deliver transport objectives throughpositi

19、ve action and is articulated in a document that is regularly reviewed.What are the benefits of a travel plan?Workplace travel plans (WTP) generate benefits to thebusiness, the local economy, the individual members of staff, the community, the environment and increasethe quality of life for all those

20、 who live and work inthe area or location addressed by the travel plan.Businesses benefit by reducing expenditure on carparking and travel in course of work and throughbeing able to release land allocated for car parking for more productive core-business purposes.In addition, there is well documente

21、d evidence thatstaff who walk and cycle occasionally and embrace“active travel” are healthier, have reduced incidence of cardiovascular disease, have fewer days off workand are more productive. These benefits accrue to both individuals and organisations and assistrecruitment and retention and the re

22、duction ofturnover rates. WTPs are a key element in healthierworkplace policies and in dealing with the obesityepidemic now hitting the UK. Active travel makes a substantial contribution to reducing obesity andreducing early onset diabetes. Reduced car use to a particular site feeds directly toreduc

23、ed air pollution which can assist in deliveringcompliance with air quality management objectivesand reduces greenhouse gases allowing bothcompanies and local authorities to deliver reductions in greenhouse gases in line with statutory objectivesset out in the Climate Change Bill. Reducing congestion

24、 is a headline objective for localand central government and is of great value tobusinesses in reducing time and monetary penalties as a result of delays caused by congested traffic.Reducing numbers of vehicles will also benefit roadsafety objectives and increase the attractiveness ofLicensed Copy:

Travelplans make a substantial contribution to wideningsocial inclusion and enabling many

26、 more people than is currently the case to gain access to jobs, training and education and the ability to make contact withthese facilities without a car is of great value to thosegroups who are traditionally excluded from widerparticipation in social, educational and workopportunities.NOTE More inf

27、ormation on the role of transportimprovements in promoting social inclusion can be found in “The value of new transport in deprived areas. Whobenefits, how and why?” 5What can a travel plan cover?A travel plan typically focuses on journeys to and froma site made by staff and visitors of all types, b

28、ut oftenincludes business travel, fleet activities and the deliveryof goods, supplies and services.It should establish a structured strategy with clearobjectives and targets, supported by suitable policiesand quality measures for implementation. It is acontinuous process for improvement, requiringmo

29、nitoring, review and revision to ensure it remainsrelevant to the organisation. These aspirations andactions should be documented in a travel plan. Thestructure and content of such a document will dependon a range of factors, including the location of the siteto which it relates, the nature of the d

30、evelopment andof the occupier and end users. Guidance for workplace travel planning fordevelopment 6Requirements regarding the nature and content of thetravel plan, are provided in Clause 3. A WTP is traditionally organisationally based. Thismeans that the travel plan would be owned by thelocal auth

31、ority, university, hospital, business etc andwould apply to the staff of that single organisation. In recent years travel plans have developed so that a group of organisations on a business park (forexample) would co-operate to share ideas, budgets and bring about target modal shift. Airports are sp

32、ecialcases where considerable work has been done acrosshundreds of individual organisations to bring aboutmodal shift.Organisations frequently have many sites. This isespecially the case for local authorities, universities and NHS trusts. In these cases a travel plan should bedeveloped and owned by

33、the organisational bodyLicensed Copy: Wang Bin, ISO/EXCHANGE CHINA STANDARDS, 02/03/2009 02:56, Uncontrolled Copy, (c) BSIPAS 500:2008 BSI November 2008viresponsible for corporate decisions and budgeting andshould apply to all sites within that organisation (see3.1), taking into account the unique c

34、haracteristics ofeach constituent site.For the purposes of a WTP, “site” means any locationwhere the organisation carries out any of its activities(see 2.9). Some organisations operate over 250 sitesand a WTP under these circumstances would have tobe very clear about its organisational wide impact a

35、ndits relevance to every site within that organisation.Travel plans can form part of a wider menu oftransport interventions and are often referred to as aspecific example of Transport Demand Management(TDM) or Mobility Management. Both TDM andMobility Management are defined in the glossary (see Anne

36、x A).Annex B contains further information on travel plansand sources of information that will be useful to thoseinvolved with travel plans. PAS 500 is intended to improve the quality andconsistency of the WTP. It does not supplant or replacelocal authority guidance on travel plans or TransportAssess

37、ments and does not supplant any part of thedevelopment control process which will often imposetravel plan conditions on applicants for newdevelopments. DfT has published Guidance on Transport Assessments7 A Transport Assessment is intended to assist developersproposing a new development to assess an

38、d managethe transport impacts of that development. Those who are involved in producing travel plans for newdevelopments should follow this guidance and makesure that the travel plan is an integral part of thetravel assessment process and is consistent with therequirements of the local planning autho
