Business TravelWise

Make sure you profit from Wiser Travel.

How many cars streaming into the staff car park each morning contain only one person, the driver? How many cars have been driven just a short distance, perhaps a mile or two? And how many bus stops have those cars passed on the way in?

Alternative ways of getting to work can be cheaper, quicker, less stressful and better for the environment.

More and more people now accept the arguments about leaving the car at home. But old habits die hard and the cost of congestion continues to rise.

A large number of Hertfordshire businesses have proved the financial and economic benefits of taking a new look at transport and travel arrangements for staff and visitors. Through Business Travel Wise you can learn from their experience and get free help in developing your company's travel plan.

Business TravelWise puts the business case for alternatives to car travel for a number of journeys and works with businesses and business organisations around the county to show how alternatives can work and to help the businesses develop Travel Plans that will increase their efficiency without making undue restrictions on their commercial effectiveness.

Business TravelWise is run in by Hertfordshire County Council, working with a number of business advice organisations who can give free advice on cutting transport costs and car parking headaches.

Business TravelWise is about common sense solutions. We know that change will only happen if employees are convinced about no-fuss alternatives to driving the car.

We can help you look at all your transport - staff, deliveries and visitors - and show how making small changes can save big money. You might want to encourage car sharing, set up car pools, talk to public transport companies or encourage teleworking and video conferencing. TravelWise can help you to see how new approaches might work for your company.
