WestTrans is here to help you deliver a Travel Plan that meets the unique requirements of your business, your location and your employees.  We will provide you with the tools and recources you need to prepare and implement your travel plan and we will help you monitor its success over time.  We have two programmes available to businesses in the WestTrans area, delivered with the support of Transport for London's A New Way to Work initiative.

A New Way to Work: Corporate
The Corporate programme is for businesses with more than 250 staff on a single site.  Participating organisations will recieve £20,000 worth of site specific advice and support in the form of free consultancy and the implementation of a package of quick win measures. 

A New Way to Work: Enterprise 

Enterprise is specifically for Small and Medium Sized Enterprises (SMEs - Between 20 and 250 staff members) and is designed to make travel planning as easy as possible.  Workplaces registered with Enterprise can access £1000 match funding for travel plan initiatives, up to 20 free cycle stands and high quality marketing and promotion materials such as cycle repair kits, rain-proof jackets and rucksacks. 

How it Works
Here's how it works in broad terms - naturally each of the steps will be tailored to you and your organisation:

Step 1: We will provide you with free expert advice on travel planning.

Step 2: We'll help you undertake audits and travel surveys with site-specific reports.

Step 3: We'll provide you with free guides and advice to build a business case.

Step 4: Then implement some free measures to promote and enable action on your key travel choices.

Step 5: Then provide free marketing and collateral to help promote messages to your staff.

Step 6: And then provide ongoing support and assistance so your travel plan remains successful.

Monitoring
One of the key elements of a workplace travel plan is monitoring. Not only does it help show how you are progressing towards your specific objectives and targets, it also helps to strengthen the business case behind your travel plan.

By joining Enterprise, we will ask you to keep track of how you are getting on through annual surveys. This allows us to keep up-to-date with your progress and provide you with ongoing support for your travel plan.

Once again, we can help with this by providing you with access to on-line surveys (via a web-based system called iTRACE) to reduce the time and effort needed to collect the information and analyse it, freeing up your resource to encourage your staff to complete it.
