Moving Forward Applauds You

Each year Moving Somerset Forward, through Somerset County Council, likes to highlight the efforts made by individuals and organisations to promote sustainable transport and in particular smarter travel management. We receive many workplace and residential travel plans each year, and many new initiatives are introduced by bodies outside of the County Council which compliment the work of Moving Forward.

The Smarter Choices Team has been noting areas of best practice during 2010 in helping staff get to work more easily and giving customers easier access to products and services. This in turn reduces carbon emissions, transport costs and time spent travelling, and improves the health and productivity of people living and working in Somerset.

In many instances this work been in collaboration with Somerset County Council, involving mutual learning ‘on the job’ to deliver favourable outcomes for all parties. 2010’s award winners are an exemplar to those taking forward similar initiatives in future years:
