On Thursday 16th June we shall be holding a meeting of the Bristol Workplace Travel Network (formerly known as the Green Commuter Club), starting at 1 for 1.30 p.m. Our hosts for the event will be Southmead Hospital.
This is a membership based network which exists to encourage employees to commute sustainably, aiming to reduce transport congestion, encourage healthier forms of travel and facilitate best business travel practice, so reducing the environmental impact of transport, which accounts for roughly a quarter of all our carbon emissions. Membership of the BWTPN is free.
We meet approximately quarterly with newsletters in between, and encourage companies and organisations to develop workplace travel plans. Together with our other West of England partners we also run an annual Travel Plans Awards scheme. This year the closing date for entries is 30th June but we are also for the first time holding some Special Awards categories, such as Best Sustainable Travel Event, and Most Committed Travel Planning Individual. The closing date for applications in these categories is 31st July. Details of these awards is available on www.travelplus.org.uk.
If you think you might be interested in either the awards or attending our next meeting please contact anne.keen@bristol.gov.uk or telephone 0117 9036673.
