Travel Plan Grants

Is your organisation interested in becoming more sustainable? We can help you create and implement a travel plan that will provide sustainable travel options for your employees students or visitors to your organisation.

Grants are available up to the sum of £3,000 from Cardiff Council as part of the Sustainable Travel City initiative. If you wish to apply you must be able to demonstrate how you are going to introduce measures which will result in a reduction in the number of single occupancy car vehicles travelling to and from your organisation. The grants can only support revenue projects and cannot fund capital projects, such as cycle parking.

See the guidance notes and application form for more information or contact travelplans@cardiff.gov.uk or 02920 873722 for general advice.

Closing date Friday 13th January 2012.

Please note that the grants are only available to organisations who have not previously received a Cardiff Council Keeping Cardiff Moving Travel Plan Grant.

To support organisations in looking at travel to their sites, Cardiff Council has established the Keeping Cardiff Moving Travel Plan Network. The Network provides members with all of the tools and resources needed to promote active and healthy travel, cut car use and reduce the local and environmental impact of employee travel.

Members of the Keeping Cardiff Moving Travel Plan Network have access to:

• Free online survey (including posters and prizes to encourage maximum participation for effective monitoring)
• Bi-annual newsletter – travel planning and journey sharing
• Travel plan resources and bespoke advice on starting a travel plan
• Free (for first year, followed by discounted) membership of Share2Cardiff
• Free marketing materials and annual marketing plan
• Bi-annual network meetings/Travel Plan Forums
• Free visit to your site to advise on carrying out a travel audit (for sites with 50+ staff)
• An offer of grant funding (e.g. Keeping Cardiff Moving Grants, Park Your Bike).

To join the Keeping Cardiff Moving Travel Plan Network, you will need to provide us with some brief details about your organisation and a contact name.

For more information, for a membership form or advice on how to promote sustainable travel with your organisations, please contact Cardiff Council’s Travel Plan Officer on travelplans@cardiff.gov.uk or 020 20 873722.
