Decision details

For the Cabinet Member for Highways and Transport to approve the Wiltshire Council Travel Strategy (see Appendix 1).

I approvethat the attached Travel Strategy be approved.

This decision was published on 9 October 2015 and will come into force on 19 October 2015.

The Travel Strategy will help meet many aims, objectives and targets outlined in various Wiltshire Council plans, such as the Business Plan, Local Transport Plan, the Energy Change and Opportunity Strategy and Air Quality Strategy.  In addition, Wiltshire Council wishes to gain full accreditation under the Workplace Wellbeing Charter; to do this the Council must have a Workplace Travel Strategy in place.

No other options considered.

Prior to the development of the Travel Strategy, a Travel Survey was undertaken in October 2013 to gain information on staff and councillors’ travel behaviour and inform the process. The Travel Strategy has been approved by the Corporate Leadership Team.
