European Mobility Week

Date:

16/09/2010

Location:

International

The world's largest sustainable travel event, The European Mobility Week September 16th to 22nd, focuses on health and mobility with "Travel Smarter, Live Better" as its catchy slogan in 2010. The benefits of active travel on health are well known, people who walk and cycle regularly are fitter, live longer, feel better, and with the cost of fuel once more on the rise, they even save money too. Mobility Week is the perfect occasion to encourage people to give sustainable travel a try, and we are looking for Local Authorities, businesses, schools and universities, hospitals and NHS trusts, community groups and charities to join us in promoting smarter travel this September.

NHS North Somerset Travel Plan presentation - A. Byers, TTR Ltd (Sept 2009)

Travel Plan presentation from Alastair Byers of Transport & Travel Research Ltd, given to NHS Sustainability Network meeting on 8 September 2009. The presentation explains TTR's work in helping North Somerset PCT to develop a travel plan to reduce the reliance on single occupancy (car) vehicle travel and promote greener cleaner travel choices. The plan had a strong focus on the health and well-being of staff, and consisted of a series of quick wins that were easy to achieve as well as longer term targets

Walking and cycling quality audits - information for NHS sites

A quality audit can identify low cost, and cost-free quick wins as well as opportunities for funded programmes that will improve the safety and enjoyment of all site users. These audits can therefore inform the design and implementation process of travel plans, and
support findings from the staff/ visitor/ patient surveys. This document has been developed by Sustrans Cymru to provide a broad overview of a cycling and walking audit.
