Travel Plan Initiatives Fund

The deadline for applications for the Travel Plan Initiatives Fund 2009 has now closed.

Grants of up to £3,000 match funding will be offered to encourage workers to use their cars less.  To boost the numbers of people who get to work by walking, cycling or using public transport – cutting emissions and congestion.

The money is available to any local company or organisation that has developed a travel plan – a strategy for greener travel. The money will be for a specific project, and the applicant must match it with an equal amount.

The cash could be used for projects such as: 

• installing secure parking, changing facilities and lockers for cyclists
• improving on-site footpaths, security or lighting for walkers
• helping public transport users – for example, with special kerbs or on-site bus stop facilities 
• encouraging car-sharing – for example, with car-share parking bays
• building facilities for motorcyclists 
• setting up a system of pool bicycles with trailers
• adult cycle training

In 2008-09 grants were awarded to:

• BVT surface fleet
• Dstl
• Portsmouth City Teaching Primary Care Trust
• Portsmouth NHS Hospitals Trust
• SSE
