Green Travel Planning

Green travel planning is when organisations such as large companies, schools, universities or residential communities encourage green travel over car use.

Islington Council's Green Travel Plan

In September 2003, Islington Council completed its own Green Travel Plan (GTP), which contained 66 actions to be implemented between 2003 and 2005.  The GTP was then revised in 2006 and formally adopted by the council in April. You can download the first and the latest GTPs by clicking the links at the bottom of this page. The objectives of the plan are:

• to promote alternatives to the car for council staff making trips to, from and during work
• to promote greener vehicles for council service delivery
• to promote alternatives to the car for visitors travelling to council premises

Other organisations in the borough are also developing or implementing Green Travel Plans, including hospitals, universities, not-for-profit organisations and a number of developers.

North Central Travel-plan Network (NCTN)

The North Central Travel-plan Network has been set up to provide businesses and other organisations located in North Central London with information, opportunities and advice about travel plans. It is a joint initiative between Transport for London and the London Boroughs of Camden, Islington and Haringey.
