A Travel Plan is a package of practical measures and objectives, aimed at promoting sustainable travel and reducing dependency on single occupancy car use. PJA offers a three-stage approach to travel planning including:

• Stage 1 – Outline (Framework/interim/outline Travel Plans)
• Stage 2 – Reserved Matters (Detailed Travel Plans)
• Stage 3 – Delivery (Travel Plan Coordination)

PJA can prepare a Framework, Outline or Full Travel Plans to accompany a planning application. We are also experienced in preparing comprehensive Travel Plans for operational needs where management of the existing travel demand is required, often in relation to large commercial operators, hospital sites or university campuses.

This can often be accompanied and complimented with car park management strategies to identify what policies/interventions would result in reducing demand for parking spaces to align with Travel Plan mode share targets.

Travel Plan Coordination

 A key part of any Travel Plan is the appointment of a Travel Plan Coordinator (TPC) whose role and responsibilities will be to deliver the plan and will often include:

• Liaising with users of the development and promoting sustainable travel
• Liaising with stakeholders, including the Local Planning and Transport Authorities
• Monitoring the effectiveness of the Travel Plan, including Travel Surveys
• Reviewing the Travel Plan and preparing Action Plans

The PJA team can act as Travel Plan Coordinator on your behalf whilst our in-house graphic design team can also prepare Travel Information Packs for new house purchasers or employees in the case of commercial developments.
