About Us
Welcome to the Travel Devon Toolkit for businesses
Start your journey to smarter travel choices
We understand that instigating change in the way your workplace operates can be overwhelming but this website has been designed to ensure it’s as easy as possible.
Our goal is to empower you and your workforce to make smarter travel choices. We want to help your organisation become a leading example for your industry and help shape the way businesses manage workplace travel across Devon.
Sustainable and active travel have a positive impact on both our environment and the physical and mental well-being of your employees. Encouraging a shift in the way your colleagues travel will benefit your business in the following ways:
- Enabling and encouraging sustainable and active travel to your site are key elements of establishing a modern workplace culture – essential for recruiting the best talent and ensuring staff retention.
- A healthy workforce helps to ensure less sickness and higher productivity.
- Green travel helps to reduce the cost of significant overheads such as car parking spaces and mileage.
- Alternatives to car travel are often faster and more efficient during busy times of the day.
- Sustainable and active travel are often more cost effective for both your employees and your business.
