The
approved monitoring process can be summarised
in a few simple stages:
‘Before data’ is
either calculated, or collected in a consistent
manner using the TRICS® multi-modal
survey methodology, before the organisation
has implemented its Travel Plan.
- Travel plan measures and
initiatives implemented are recorded.
- At a defined point in
the future, ‘after data’ is
collated in the same way.
- The two datasets can then
be compared to see what changes have resulted.
- The planning authority
then decides whether the organisation /site
has met its targets and takes appropriate
action. Note: A national accreditation
scheme for Travel Plans is currently under
development.
This site provides step-by-step advice for
undertaking consistent, statistically robust
Travel Plan monitoring according to the UK
national standard. The process differs between
existing, new sites and expanding sites. Therefore
the differences in the process are explained
separately, as summarised in the table below.

It should be noted that any Travel Plan report submitted
to Local Planning Authorities would contain the results
of these surveys. It is also likely to include data
from additional questionnaires with staff/occupiers
to gather further information helpful to the development
of the Travel Plan. It is important to note that this
guidance refers only to those surveys carried out to
monitor the effects of the Travel Plan. |
