Green Travel Plans

Three of the key objectives of the Local Transport Plan (LTP) for the county are

To reduce the need for the movement of people and goods through integrated land use planning, the promotion of sustainable distribution and the use of telecommunications.

To provide a transport system which provides access to employment, shopping, education, leisure and health facilities for all especially those without a car and those with impaired mobility.

To raise awareness and encourage the use of alternative modes of transport through effective promotion, publicity and information.
We hope to help developers achieve a balance between Communities and Local Government's planning and policy guidance on transport (PPG13) and our Local Transport Plan objectives. We promote a structured partnership approach to Green Travel Plans.
