Travel Plans play an increasingly important role in shaping how people move around our towns and cities. In this article, we explain how DHA Transport can help you meet your Travel Plan needs and deliver practical, sustainable travel solutions for your development.
Thank you for getting in touch. We will be in contact shortly.
Great developments don’t just provide places to live, work and play — they need to connect people sustainably.
A Travel Plan is a long-term strategy designed to support sustainable travel choices for residents, workers, students and visitors. By encouraging active travel and the use of public transport, Travel Plans help reduce car dependency, improve accessibility, and create healthier, more inclusive communities.
Travel Plans are often required by local planning and highway authorities as a mitigation measure to manage the transport impacts of development. They can offer a highly cost-effective alternative to physical highway improvements while supporting wider sustainability and net zero objectives.
DHA Transport provides a comprehensive range of Travel Plan services, tailored to the scale, location and nature of each development:
Strategic Travel Plans prepared for large or phased mixed-use developments where occupiers are not yet known. These set overarching sustainable travel objectives and establish a framework for future individual Travel Plans.
Designed to encourage residents to walk, cycle and use public transport by providing information, incentives and infrastructure that support sustainable everyday travel.
Focused on reducing single-occupancy car journeys by employees and visitors, supporting sustainable commuting and business travel through targeted measures and engagement.
Prepared in collaboration with school communities to promote safer, healthier and more sustainable journeys to school. These typically prioritise walking, cycling, scooting and public transport while reducing car use at peak times.
To ensure Travel Plans are effective and deliver measurable outcomes, we also provide:
Travel Plan Coordinator services – ongoing implementation, monitoring and reporting;
Baseline surveys and monitoring – collection and analysis of travel behaviour data;
Travel information and welcome packs – clear, practical guidance for residents, employees and visitors;
Regular travel information updates – keeping users informed about transport changes and opportunities; and
Promotion of walking and cycling initiatives – events and campaigns to encourage active travel.
By combining transport planning expertise with a strong understanding of sustainability and user behaviour, DHA Transport helps clients design developments that move people — not just vehicles.
Our Travel Plans support planning compliance, deliver long-term value, and contribute to healthier, more sustainable places.
