Travel Fund

What is 'TravelFund'?

A new Business Travel Grant designed to help organisations to introduce practical measures to promote alternative, more sustainable ways to travel and, in particular, to reduce single-occupancy car commuting.

Who can apply?

Businesses in Herefordshire who have produced or are in the process of developing a Travel Plan are eligible to apply for funding.

How much money is available?

Businesses can apply for funding up to a maximum of £1,000 towards implementing measures detailed in a Travel Action Plan. This can be 100% of the project costs.

What will the grant cover?

Funding will be available for a wide range of sustainable travel products and initiatives, to meet the specific needs of the individual business. These could include:

• personal alarms for employees
• secure cycle racks or shelters
• cycle helmets and wet weather gear
• pool/ folding bikes for business use
• cycle training for employees
• providing Public Transport information
• IT equipment to enable tele-working
• additional lighting on walkways
