Salford City Council's Travel Plan
Background
Salford City Council is aiming to meet the transport needs of our staff and councillors, the users of our services, local residents and visitors to the city. Our travel plan recognises the important role the council plays in providing both healthier and more sustainable transport options.
The travel plan aims at promoting travel choices and reducing our reliance on the car. We will do this through specific initiatives that can reduce the impact of travel and transport on the environment. To achieve this we will provide a number of incentives to our staff as well as changing the way we do business.
This travel plan will grow and develop with the changing circumstances of the organisation and the environment in which we work.
This is just the start of a better way of living and working, a process of evolution not revolution.
