Community
Building thriving, sustainable communities is at the heart of every successful development. At GO Travel Solutions, we partner with housebuilders, developers, and housing associations to integrate sustainable transport solutions from the initial planning stages, creating places where people choose to live, work, and thrive.
Our community services
We offer a range of services designed to integrate sustainable transport into your developments, helping you meet planning requirements, enhance community wellbeing, and create future-proof, environmentally responsible projects.
Travel plans & coordination
A well-crafted travel plan is essential for securing planning permission and building sustainable communities. We develop bespoke travel plans tailored to the specific needs of your development, considering factors like location, demographics, and local transport infrastructure.
Our services include
Development of comprehensive travel plans: Addressing all modes of transport and promoting sustainable choices.
Travel plan coordination: Ensuring the travel plan is implemented effectively and meets Section 106 requirements.
Annual reporting and monitoring: Providing data-driven insights to demonstrate the success of the travel plan and identify areas for improvement. This includes resident surveys to capture real-time needs and feedback.
Benefits
Sustainable travel development
We go beyond planning to help you implement and manage sustainable travel initiatives.
We can help with:
Future-proofing sustainable transport investment: Ensuring your development is prepared for the evolving landscape of sustainable transport.
Maximisation of Social Impact: Creating positive change within the community through improved connectivity and accessibility.
Placemaking: Contributing to the creation of vibrant and desirable places to live.
Our approach to sustainable travel development extends beyond initial planning. We actively engage with local authorities, transport providers, and community groups to foster collaborative partnerships. This ensures the long-term viability of sustainable transport solutions. We can also provide bespoke training and educational workshops for site staff and residents, empowering them to embrace sustainable travel practices from day one.

Real results, tangible benefits
Our approach:
We believe in a collaborative approach, working closely with our clients to understand their specific needs and develop tailored solutions. Our data-driven strategies ensure that every decision is informed by evidence, maximising the impact of our services.
Through our work together with GO Travel Solutions they have understood the complexity and nuances of our development and provided solutions to ensure the appropriate sustainable travel benefits for our future community.
The promotion of sustainable transport is a vital part of creating sustainable and healthy places and communities, and Wintringham – with its proximity to St Neots and a mainline station just a short cycle away – provides real opportunities to ensure residents moving in choose cycle, walking or public transport options over their cars. We have and will continue to roll out the key infrastructure to support this from the first tree planted to the last brick laid. The role of activating that, and creating a culture of “car last, not car first” for travel choices requires strong partnership working and we are pleased to be working with GO Travel Solutions to help deliver our sustainable options for this exciting new community.
