Southern Vectis, a significant employer on the Island, worked with the Connect2Work programme to develop a Workplace Travel Plan. The Travel Plan consisted of a staff survey and a site audit to examine the organisation's opportunities and challenges. 

 

A set of recommendations was provided, which set out how Southern Vectis could enable its employees to travel more sustainably for commuting and business travel.

​

Some of the reasons Southern Vectis took the opportunity to develop its Travel Plan included:

​

• Car parking issues at its main site and depots

• To encourage employees to become more active and to use the transport services it currently provides.

• To increase onsite facilities to make sustainable transport options easier for staff.

• To support the organisation's ongoing commitment to carbon emissions reduction whilst contributing to staff wellbeing.
