Measures to Reduce Transport Use

These pages by no means cover all the available measures to reduce transport use, but instead highlight the more commonly used options.

  • Use vehicles that run on alternative fuels (e.g. electricity, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and natural gas)

  • Ensure that your existing vehicles are well maintained. Poorly maintained cars can use up to 30% more fuel than well-maintained vehicles of the same age.

  • Place staff on driver training schemes. With the correct training fuel use can be reduced by between 10 and 30%.

  • Promote a staff car share scheme

  • Provision of a coach park

  • Offer seasonal pitches for touring caravans

  • Provide a drop-off point for public transport

  • Provide secure covered storage for bicycles

  • Provide visitors with details of public transport and cycle and pedestrian routes

  • Provide information on local cycle hire services or if practical make bikes available for visitors and staff to use

  • Form business collaborations with public transport service providers
