ABOUT THE NORTHSHORE TRAVEL PLAN

WHAT IS THE TRAVEL PLAN?

A Travel Plan is in place for Northshore, which helps you understand your options for making journeys to and from the development. We hope that you will have a look through the information and consider how you could fit sustainable travel into your daily routine.

Travelling sustainably can save you money, help squeeze exercise into your day, improve your health, limit your impact on the environment and on air quality, help you avoid traffic jams and help you learn more about your neighbourhood.

TRAVEL PLAN OBJECTIVES

The objectives of the Travel Plan are as follows:

• Ensure all residents, employees and visitors are aware of, and can choose from, a range of options for travelling by non-car modes. This will be achieved through communicating the Travel Plan, and by providing the measures to help make sustainable travel practical and attractive.

• Achieve mode share targets to limit the amount of single-occupancy car trips.

• Raise awareness of the environmental and health implications of different travel choices.

WHO LOOKS AFTER THE TRAVEL PLAN?

The Northshore Travel Plan is implemented by a Travel Plan Coordinator (Fore Consulting) on behalf of Northshore Development Partnerships Ltd and covers all elements of the development. You can contact the Travel Plan Coordinator here if you would like advice about how to make journeys from Northshore or if you have questions about this website or the Travel Plan.  

GET INVOLVED

Travel surveys will be carried out every so often by the Travel Plan Coordinator in order to understand if everything is in place to support you to make fewer car journeys, or whether there is more to be done to help you travel more sustainably. The surveys may be completed in a number of different ways, such as an online form, paper copies sent to you or counting how many cars and people are leaving the site during the day. When it is time to carry out the surveys, we will really appreciate your input!

VIEWING THE TRAVEL PLAN

A Travel Plan is a package of measures aimed at promoting the use of other modes of transport instead of the car. It involves the development of a set of mechanisms, initiatives and targets that together can reduce the impact of travel and transport on the environment, whilst also achieving a number of other benefits, such as saving money and improving health and well-being.
