Travel Plans and Wider Engagement
Cycling should form an integral part of any Travel Plan from the outset. As Travel Plans are widely used, and are generally a requirement for any major new development, they present a key opportunity for the promotion of cycling.
This section covers the encouragement of cycling through travel planning and other partnership programmes. Such initiatives are often focused towards specific groups or sites, including schools, employers, health, police, tourism, NGOs.
