Are you looking at the best way to get to work? Help your staff explore new ways and get excited about their commute.
Our free City Travel Planning Programme offers personalised journey planning sessions, advice, practical resources and services such as Metro incentives for taking the bus, and onsite bike workshops.
We’ve been supporting over 50 workplaces since 2016, assisting thousands of staff across the city.
Biking, walking or taking the bus has proven results:
“We found the knowledge, guidance, and time, provided by the City Travel Planning team invaluable for our workplace. From the get-go they were proactive and helped us to create a ‘clever commuting group’ within the office.
The one-on-one planning advice gave our staff travel information that was relevant to them, and the team provided great ideas, and incentives so our staff could try out some different ways to get to work. Our staff are now aware of the many travel options available around the city, and they have the confidence to use them”.
“Since EY’s move back to the Christchurch CBD, our staff have embraced a range of transport options for their commute to work thanks to the City Travel Programme. A considerable number of staff opt to cycle to work, which has been made easier by the cycleways, bike maintenance workshops and secure bike lock up.
Many of our staff utilise the Bus services, and several choose to carpool whilst those that live within walking distance value their therapeutic walk to and from work. We’re very grateful to the City Travel Programme for educating us on the options available and where we can learn more”.
“The presentation, support and materials provided by the City Travel Planning team helped our staff to be more aware of their options for getting around the city. The one on one planning sessions with staff were really beneficial and gave us travel options that we hadn’t even thought of!”
Our free programme is designed to help people make informed choices on how they travel to work. It can be delivered shortly before an organisation or business moves location, through staff inductions, or integrated with health and wellbeing initiatives.
The aim is to help reduce the stress associated with commuting and provide advice and support on easier ways for your staff to get to work.
Our team will come to your workplace to deliver the programme. We can also offer phone-based personalised travel planning services and incentives to your staff.
Our programme includes:
