Benefits

The plan will seek to reduce car reliance – it will not be anti-car.

Mobility Management Plans are effective - an average 18% reduction in single occupancy vehicles is recorded in UK and Europe.

Mobility Management Plans make commercial sense – a cohesive strategy that encompass all elements of access, travel and parking.

Effective consultation allows staff input to designing the right solutions.
