ABSTRACT

A survey in 2002/03 found that 36% of those who usually travel to work by car or motorcycle would find it very or quite easy to get to work by other means, while 57% would find it difficult. Information produce a cycling route map for the building and make this available in hard copy and on a website. The safest, easiest and most pleasant cycle routes to the building may be different to the main routes motorists use, so draw on the knowledge of existing cyclists and local cycling organisations to prepare this. An alternative to commuting to an office is to work from home for some or all of the working week. This requires a combination of flexible and home working policies supported by appropriate information technology. Various surveys have shown increased productivity and reduced sick leave due to utilising flexible working and telecommuting.
