Mini Travel Plan Example
This is an example of a very simple mini-travel plan. An overall travel plan co-ordinator oversees the Travel Plan to ensure that progress is made. The key to the success of this Travel Plan is: ♦ The range of people involved in implementing the measures ♦ The fact that staff are involved and kept informed ♦ That it’s a practical working document which is regularly amended ♦ Management and senior staff support it
