3.1 Introduction

Travel Plans are often required by Local Authorities, as part of planning conditions, seeking to reduce the number of single-occupancy private car journeys.

Motorcycles can be an affordable alternative mode of transport where public transport provision is lacking or non-existent and where distance dictates that walking and cycling are unrealistic.

For these reasons Motorcycles should be included in Travel Plans and such plans should include:

Incentives to encourage staff to switch from a less sustainable mode (e.g. single occupied car)
Motorcycle user groups
Parking, changing facilities and lockers
Safer  ‘internal’ routes
Security systems need to be accessible to riders
