Business solutions

Businesses

Businesses are becoming increasingly aware of their environmental responsibilities.

Many businesses in York already have Travel Plans in place, either set up voluntarily or perhaps as part of planning conditions for a development project. Travel Plans are a package of measures designed to encourage cycling, walking, public transport use and car sharing - and reduce the impact of car traffic to the workplace.

The benefits to a business of promoting sustainable travel are wide-ranging from increased employee attendance and improved sickness levels to the financial benefits of freeing up land used for car parking for other purposes.

CarshareYork has been providing businesses with a car share solution since 2004.

There are two ways you can help your staff take advantage of this site. They can either register as individuals for journeys of any type using their home or work email addresses. Or, you can set up your own dedicated, secure site for employee use only.

Setting up a secure site has several benefits. You can link into any communications and promotions run by liftshare.com, get the advice and support of a dedicated liftshare project officer to market your site, and have access to monitoring tools to keep track of how well things are going – particularly useful for Travel Plans. For more information and details of costings please contact us.

Developers

It is becoming increasingly necessary for developers to ensure that their development has as little impact on the road networks and on the environment as possible. As part of a developer's travel plan, the promotion of car sharing to residents can mean less car parking spaces are required in the build. This has financial as well as environmental benefits. It also helps to address accessibility and social inclusion issues; and can unlock potential sites for development that may have been overlooked due to a lack of suitable parking.
