What is Smarter Working?
Smarter working covers a number of measures that can eliminate or reduce the need for travel and can form a valuable part of formal and informal Travel Planning.
Smarter Working methods
Common ways to implement smarter working include:
- flexi-time working
- home working
- compressed working week
- tele and video conferencing
Improving on-site facilities, such as access to catering outlets, crèches and leisure and banking facilities, can also reduce the need for employees to travel during breaks or to make detours to pick up or drop off children before and after work. Such steps can also reduce the need to travel to work by car.

Smarter Working and your Travel Plan
Tailored to the specific needs of your organisation, staff, clients and visitors, Travel Plans are integrated packages of measures that you design to promote more sustainable transport choices for your staff, visitors and suppliers.
Formalising a Travel Plan for your organisation will help you get the maximum benefit from encouraging alternative ways to travel.
