For Employees
Almost half of all employees in Somerset live within walking and cycling distance (less than 5km) of their workplace. Many others live along public transport corridors or near people seeking car share partners, registered with the Somerset Car Share scheme.
Alternative ways to travel
In many cases there are cheaper, healthier and greener alternatives, which employers can help staff choose to use by ensuring their policies and practices allow - and encourage - people to use more sustainable options.
