Cycle to work

Why?• Government initiative• Part of our green credentials to promote

sustainable travel options• We adopted it on a trail basis• Scheme introduced in 2009

Cycle to work

• The 2009 scheme saw an uptake of 12/280• We regarded this as a poor result and reviewed

our promotion of the scheme for 2010• In 2010 the uptake was 27/280, a doubling of

the previous year and the effects are cumulative year on year

• This was a result of heavy promotion

Cycle to work

Developing the scheme• In 2011 the scheme saw an additional 22/280

bikes purchased• 2012 added a further 15/280 to the number • Total number of bikes so far 76/280 cumulative

total• Total uptake is 27% of all staff taking advantage

of the scheme to date over 3 years

Are we doing enough?

Cycle to work is a good start. We can develop it further but it has natural limitations most notably distance from work for our staff.

We are looking to develop flexible working systems to assist staff with transport issues.

Further developments will need the assistance of local and central government for example improved public transport, pavements and lighting.

Improve Internet connectivity to rural areas, thus allowing more staff to work from home.
