Providing Practical Information about Travel Choices
People often perceive public transport, walking and cycling to be "difficult" options. Giving good information on the transport choices available and how to use them can overcome this confusion and make people aware of their options. It also highlights your organisation’s commitment to accessibility and environmental protection.
A wider range of information should be provided than solely about driving routes and the nearest motorway junction. Read more about providing information on your website and in print [.pdf]
Way-finding signage should be used which makes it easy for people to find their way around using alternative modes. Read more about signage for pedestrians, cyclists and those travelling from bus/train stops [.pdf]
Skills, e.g. cycle training, can give people the confidence and purpose they need to choose smarter travel options. Read more about information about training [.pdf]
