The fact that you’re here means that you and your organisation are aware of the importance of good travel management, but may not have a huge budget to spend. In fact, you may even be looking for ways to save money and workplace travel planning could help.
With transport responsible for approximately 25% – 30% of all UK carbon emissions* and the cost of traffic congestion around Nottingham estimated at approximately £150 million per year^, travel planning makes a lot of sense.
