Following the last travel survey, we are able to prioritise actions based on what our staff and students consider the most important. Examples include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Cycle security is a major issue across campus and beyond, and improvements must be attractive and safe with complimentary facilities (such as improved network safety, improved access to lockers and showers) to encourage take-up of cycling;<\/li>\n<li>Buses could be more frequent, direct and reliable and work is required with Reading Buses to ensure that they remain fit for purpose;<\/li>\n<li>Take-up of Electric Vehicles is continuing at pace and more charge points are required across our campuses;<\/li>\n<li>Safety and security is paramount to our campuses remaining attractive places to study and work, and any improvements should prioritise the least polluting forms of transport<\/li>\n<li>Parking cannot be overlooked and must be managed in an accessible and fair way.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><u>How do you ensure it isn\u2019t forgotten?<\/u><\/p>\n<p>The Travel Plan and its progress, targets and actions will continue to be managed by the Sustainable Travel Officer within the Sustainability Team. Biennial travel surveys will continue, which will be paramount to ensuring ongoing staff and student input and feedback.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">What can you do to help?<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Seek to travel onto campus is the most sustainable way possible, even if just some of the time!
