E.ON delivered its Green Travel Programme by understanding where their employees lived, what they wanted to see and by undertaking a gap analysis on existing services local to sites. Using this information, the company identified the need to improve bus links, links to local transport nodes and carsharing, cycling and motorcycling at the sites.
To achieve a shift in behaviour E.ON UK:
Increased the number of guaranteed and designated carsharing spaces from 47 to 137, (17.4% of the main carpark capacity).
Continued to run three company bus routes to sites where there was no public service or as onward journey from local transport nodes.
Launched a free bus pass scheme for colleagues living along the public service route provide by Trent Barton, between Nottingham and Mansfield.
Improved cycling and walking access through the creation of a footpath at the rear of the site linking to the local shared cycle/footpaths.
Provided a hybrid minibus to the Nottingham Tram network and Robin Hood line train services at Hucknall, making it easier for visitors and employees to access the Business Park and Nottingham sites.
Promoted the car sharing by providing a TravelShare journey-matching tool to enable colleagues to register journeys and find matches.
Rewarded Green Travellers with points for each day they travel sustainably to site.
Ran regular Green Travel Surgeries and personal travel sessions to raise awareness and provide information to colleagues.
