Personal Travel Plans

Planning your journey can be time consuming. It can be much easier to get in your car and let Google maps direct you to your destination. By doing so however, you could be spending more time and money than necessary. This is why as your Travel Plan Coordinator, we provide each resident of Stour View with an opportunity to claim a free Personal Travel Plan. 

What are Personal Travel Plans (PTP)?

PTP is a free service that provides you with all the information you require on your travel options, to and from a regular destination. We include active methods of travelling such as walking, cycling, public transport and car sharing where applicable. These options are shown in comparison to each other, helping you evaluate the best travel option.

Each travel mode analysed by the PTP will show you:

• Calories burnt
• Journey distance
• Duration of journey
• And the estimated CO₂ for each alternative travel mode.

Why a Personal Travel Plan?

It is personalised to you specifically and it can save you time. Our PTP is the one place to go to that shows you everything you need to know with various modes of transport. Looking for the quickest walking route? A quiet cycling route? Or cheaper public transport options?

It is free for residents of Stour View, so why not send your start / end locations and arrival / departure times to at [email protected] and we will investigate your sustainable travel options!

How would this benefit you?

Journey planning is key. Sometimes we don’t know how much money we are spending just on travelling to work alone, or how much money you could be saving by just changing your habit slightly. By making positive changes to the way you travel, you can help the environment by reducing carbon emissions and alleviate road congestion, and encourage your friends, family and co workers to travel greener as well. As well as that, you could save money, and create a healthier lifestyle for your physical and mental health. 

“Google can do it for me“

True. However, Google cannot simply calculate the most cost efficient option for you, or show you the best public transport option. Smarter Travel Limited are specialists in sustainable travel planning, and so we are always up to date on various travelling options, and vouchers and discounts that are available for residents.
