Overview
Travel plans are used to encourage travel by means other than the single car user and are often included in air quality action plans as a measure to reduce pollutant emissions. There are four types of travel plans:
- school travel plans
- workplace travel plans
- residential travel plans
- personalised travel plans
More information on each can be found at Act Travel Wise.
A number of initiatives are in place to encourage children to travel to school in a sustainable mode. School travel plans aim to improve children’s safety to and from school and encourage walking and cycling, leading to a reduction in pollutant emissions. Local authorities should encourage all schools to produce a travel plan and information on safe routes to school can be found using the document available on this page.

More information on residential travel plans can be found under the measure Development Planning.
