How to reduce your transport and business travel emissions

1. Look at alternative transport methods

Encourage: 

• Walking
• Cycling
• Motorcycling and potentially electric scooters 
• Buses / trains
• Car sharing (when safe to do so) 

2. Look at work and travel patterns 

Can employees:  

• Work from home and not travel at all 
• Travel on set days 
• Travel outside peak periods to avoid congestion  

3. Reduce business travel 

Does that meeting need to be face to face? Eliminate unnecessary travel to: 

• Reduce emissions
• Maximise productivity 
• Reduce travel costs 
• Reduce administration 

4. Move to Electric Vehicles (EVs)

EVs emit less greenhouse gases and air pollutants over their lifetime  

• Move over to EVs as and when you can and encourage and facilitate use 

The move to EV is happening. Demand will increase, be prepared:  

• Review car park layouts 
• Prepare ducting to meet increasing demand  
• Is there adequate electricity supply? 
• How will it operate – free charging or payment, slow charging or fast, how are spaces allocated? 

 5. Promote your new travel initiatives

• Shout about your initiatives and their benefits
• Offer personal travel advice to employees
