Helping business and employers make the right travel choices
Green, clean and sustainable commuting and business travel can play a huge role in Greater Manchester’s economic growth and ambitious target to become carbon neutral by 2038. It also has real benefits for your business and your workforce:
- Cost-effective – make savings on car mileage and subsidising car parking spaces
- Environmental sustainability – generate less road transport emissions, which currently accounts for 65% of nitrogen oxide and 79% of particulate emissions.
- Productivity – research suggests sustainable travel to or from work reduces sick days
- Health and wellbeing – encouraging active travel (including walking, jogging and cycling) as part of the commute results in a healthier, content and engaged workforce
To help support this, we want to improve people’s experience of using public transport and active travel by making the Bee Network safe, accessible, affordable, reliable, sustainable, and accountable.
