Personal Travel Planning (PTP) is a well established method that encourages people to make more sustainable travel choices. It seeks to overcome the habitual car use, enabling more journeys to be made on foot, bike, bus, train or shared cars.
PTP is typically delivered across large residential areas. Each person within the target population is encouraged to think about how they currently travel for each of the trips they make, and to consider how they might make those trips in more sustainable ways.
PTP projects can include:
-
one-to-one conversations, wither on the doorstep or by telephone, between individuals and trained field officers to encourage and motivate a change in behaviour
-
the provision of information on how to travel sustainably
-
the offer of gifts and incentives to encourage the use of sustainable modes
Through Take the Right Route, Personal Travel Planning will be carried out in all households in Larbert and Stenhousemuir. Keep an eye on this website for more details.
