Greener travel - workplaces
Swapping car journeys for more active and sustainable modes, such as walking, cycling and public transport provides many benefits, including better air quality, less congestion and improved health and wellbeing.
Birmingham City Council works in partnership with Transport for West Midlands and a range of other partners to reduce unnecessary car journeys. We will help your workplace create an effective Travel Plan and take steps to encourage employees, customers and visitors to choose greener, healthier ways to travel.
Services on offer to workplaces include:
- Travel Plan support and accreditation through the Modeshift STARS scheme
- Free Workplace Travel Plan Guide to help your workplace create an effective travel plan.
- Newsletters and social media – providing transport and travel updates, offers and activities to enable greener, healthier travel
- Guidance, activities and events to get more people walking, wheeling, cycling or using public transport for work-related travel
- Clean Air Zone support and advice to reduce air pollution as part of the Brum Breathes campaign
