EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The aim of Travel Plans outlined in national Government guidelines is to examine potential

means of reducing reliance on the private car for single occupancy journeys for shopping

and journeys to work, and to encourage the use of alternative modes of travel.

As a leading UK retailer, Tesco is committed to reducing its environmental impacts as part

of an ongoing programme of Corporate Responsibility. The Travel Plan is supported by the

company, not only within the store but also at corporate level.

Owing to the recognised difficulties associated with the control of customer travel, this

Travel Plan is focused primarily on the colleagues employed at the store, although

measures are proposed to increase public awareness with the aim of providing customers

with an indication of the opportunities that exist in close proximity to the store for journeys by

modes alternative to the car.

Through the promotion of a range of measures and initiatives, Tesco are committed to

reducing the reliance on single occupancy car journeys by colleagues for travel for work and

a summary of these is provided below:

introduction of a car share scheme;

promotion of bicycle user group;

secure cycle parking provision;

promotion of ‘walking buddy’ scheme; and

changing and washing facilities for colleagues.




1 INTRODUCTION

Background

1.1 Transport Planning Associates (TPA) has been instructed by Tesco Stores Limited (Tesco)

to develop a Travel Plan to support a new foodstore at Hawkins Lane, Burton.

1.2 Tesco propose a 7,137m2

gross floor area (GFA) food store together with modifications to

the existing site access junction, and wider off-site highway improvements.

Motivation and Objectives

1.3 Tesco acknowledges that as a major employer in Burton-upon-Trent, it will play a significant

role in the travel patterns of the area. The prime motivation of setting up the Travel Plan is

that it promotes a range of measures to help reduce car usage (particularly single

occupancy car journeys) and encourages increased use of passenger transport, walking

and cycling.

1.4 The successful implementation of the Travel Plan will have a range of benefits to Tesco as a

business, its colleagues, its customers, the local community and the environment. These

would include:

Better health for Tesco colleagues;

Informed choice on travel alternatives;

Reduce cost / time in travelling to work;

Better retention of colleagues;

Reduction of car parking pressure;

Improvement of the environmental image of the company; and

Possible reduction in congestion in the local area

National Policy

1.5 At national level, the March 2001 publication of Planning Policy Guidance Note 13 Transport

(PPG 13) introduced a requirement for new development, principally those that are

employment based, to be supported by the adoption of a Travel Plan; a management tool to

control the distribution of data and information associated with travel to work through a

range of modes. The introduction of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) has

not affected this requirement and Travel Plans remain applicable to new developments.

1.6 In April 2009, the Department for Transport (DfT) published good practice guidelines for

delivering Travel Plans aimed at local authorities, developers and tenants. Tesco has

formed the framework for this Travel Plan by applying this guidance.




1.7 It is acknowledged in the NPPF that the car will continue to have an important part to play

and for some journeys, it will remain the only real option for travel. It is Tesco’s belief that

this is directly applicable to a major foodstore where people will undertake bulk food

shopping, and where for many customers, the practicalities of undertaking a weekly shop,

often with children, necessitates the use of a car.

Local Policy

1.8 The principle relevant regional and local transport policy documents applicable to the store

are Staffordshire County Council’s Local Transport Plan 3 2011 – 2026 and East

Staffordshire’s District Council’s Local Plan 2007.

Tesco Operation

1.9 Each foodstore trades independently from another, however, there are general themes

which run through the operation of the stores and the practicalities of these need to be

realised if the aims of sustainable travel are to be met. This therefore helps with the

company aim to make sure that Tesco's colleagues are representative of the local

communities that the stores serve.

1.10 The majority of Tesco foodstores are now open over extended trading periods and many are

open for the full 24 hour period. Even when the store is closed to the public there are still

people employed on site re-stocking shelves, taking on deliveries, providing security and

cleaning.

1.11 Due to the nature and hours of operation, supermarket colleagues have a variety of shift

patterns that can be very different to those of a factory or office environment. A large

number of the colleagues are female and many Tesco colleagues are aged over 50. Many

of the colleagues have found that the choice of career opportunities within Tesco means that

they are able to build their working hours around other commitments, such as collecting

children from school or further education courses. Initiatives such as the walking buddy

scheme can be tailored to accommodate these colleagues by highlighting to them the

options for sustainable travel available.

1.12 There will also be a high proportion of part-time and temporary colleagues within the store

who generally work far more flexible and irregular hours.

1.13 A breakdown of colleague age, shift patterns worked and the number of temporary or part-

time colleagues will be identified in the results from a colleague survey which will be

undertaken at the store 6 months after opening. This will form a key consideration of those

individuals that can be accurately targeted by the measures and initiatives that the store

propose to promote and will also clarify the number of colleagues likely to be on site at any

one time.




Aims and Approach

1.14 The principal aim of the Travel Plan for the development is to help reduce car usage

(particularly single occupancy car journeys) achieved through increased use of passenger

transport and travel by foot and by bike.

1.15 The Travel Plan is based around two main stages; firstly to take into consideration the

existing transport conditions relevant to the development and the surrounding environment

and secondly; to promote a range of measures designed to increase travel awareness and

to effectively manage and reduce the level of single-occupancy car journeys by colleagues.

1.16 An initial survey of colleague travel patterns will be conducted at the store within 6 months of

opening by means of a questionnaire. The data collected by this survey will be compared to

targets set for reducing single occupancy car trips and increasing travel to work by more

sustainable means, and used to determine the effectiveness of the measures in place and to

improve these where possible.

1.17 This data is integral to the formulation of the Travel Plan. Colleagues will also be requested

to provide an indication of what measures could be implemented that would encourage them

to change their existing means of travel.

1.18 A typical colleague travel questionnaire, which will also be used for future monitoring, is

provided in Appendix A.




2 TESCO’S CORPORATE NATIONAL COMMITMENTS

Tesco Corporate Responsibility

2.1 With over 2,500 trading stores across the UK, Tesco has made and continues to make,

substantial corporate commitments to transport infrastructure in the vicinity of its stores. On

a national scale, Tesco’s approach to Corporate Responsibility (CR) is based upon the

principles of sustainable development and integrates many elements of the Company

activities including transport and the environment.

Delivery Strategy

2.2 Tesco use a large fleet of vehicles for its distribution system between its depots and stores.

Between 1999 and 2002 the initiatives put in place to improve fuel efficiency resulted in

savings of over 150,000 gallons of fuel and over 55,000 tonnes of CO2 per million vehicle

miles travelled.

2.3 New and constantly improving ordering and distribution systems are being used to ensure

that a minimum number of HGVs visit the stores. These systems, such as Isotrak (an in-cab

system providing real time vehicle location used to control transport operation to maximise

vehicle use and minimise mileage and unproductive time) have already resulted in

improvements in the distribution fleet fuel efficiency by 23%. Where practicable, HGVs that

have made deliveries to stores are reloaded with empty cages, waste and packaging to

return to the depot for recycling. The use of such delivery schedules will ensure that no

unnecessary HGV trips are made and that disruption to the local community is minimised.

2.4 In 2004 Tesco exceeded their target to increase the volume of goods delivered per litre of

fuel consumed by 2.5%. This means that 22.5 cases of goods are being delivered per litre of

fuel, compared with 19.9 cases in 2003. This reduces mileage, emissions and congestion.

Tesco have achieved this by using delivery vehicles returning from stores to distribution

centres to collect goods from suppliers. By collaborating in this way, Tesco have helped

reduce the miles travelled by suppliers to their distribution centres by 23% and reduce fuel

usage by 14%. Tesco have also opened three regional consolidation centres, where

previously, stores would receive deliveries from many different regional distribution centres.

2.5 Despite significant business growth, Tesco have not increased the size of its UK distribution

fleet for four years. They train their drivers to make driving more efficient, by accelerating

smoothly, using the highest possible gear, and maintaining a constant speed. Tesco are

now reducing the maximum speed of our UK vehicles to 50 mph. This is projected to reduce

fuel consumption by up to 3%.

2.6 In 2010 Tesco’s use of the UK rail network saved six million road miles and over 8,000

tonnes of CO2 equivalent (CO2e). They also continued to increase the number of double-

decker trailers used to deliver to stores, saving 12.5 million road miles and nearly 17,000

tonnes of CO2e.




2.7 Tesco have opened their first depot to be powered entirely by renewable energy in Widnes.

The depot is not connected to the National Grid, but instead is supplied with heat and

electricity through a partnership with logistics company Stobart and recycler PDM. Each

year, PDM’s CHP plant will turn 230,000 tonnes of food waste – from food retailers including

Tesco – into renewable heat and electricity, saving 7,000 tonnes of CO2e.

2.8 Tesco’s Daventry depot, opened in May 2011, has direct rail freight access for up to eight

trains per day, which is projected to save nearly 20,000 tonnes of CO2e per year.

Internet Based Shopping

2.9 The largest influence that Tesco can practically bring to bear on the travel behaviour of its

customers is the promotion of internet based shopping. Home shopping and home delivery

reduces the need for its customer to travel to the store and caters for those members of the

public who have special needs.

2.10 Since its inception in 1999, Tesco has been promoting its internet shopping facility and

continues to do so. The service has been a success and it is envisaged to continue to

increase in future years, thereby assisting with the attainment of the key sustainability

objectives of the Government.

2.11 Currently nearly 300 stores operate home shopping facilities that are geographically able to

cover over 95% of the UK. Tesco have 1,200 delivery vehicles in its fleet and these carry out

over 175,000 home deliveries per week. The average four van DotCom store will deliver to

750 customers per week.

2.12 The DotCom vans now all run on diesel fuel. There is currently a trial using bio diesel which

is more efficient than normal diesel and produces less pollutants.

2.13 Tesco’s aim is to continue to grow the internet shopping facility across the UK by 20% per

annum over the next few years.

Company Car Use

2.14 As part of the CR programme, Tesco is in the process of phasing out company cars with

poor fuel consumption and emissions performance. Unlike many other types of business, it

is only the store manager who uses a company car, other options such as tele / video

conferencing are used where appropriate but often this is not an option owing to the need to

travel to other stores and attend meetings. The company car may also be used in the event

of an emergency to provide a ride home for colleagues which walk or cycle to work.

2.15 The adverse effects of company car travel are therefore not considered to be significant when compared to the fleet car issues associated with other large organisations, and consequently this area is not considered further within the Travel Plan.




3 PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT AND ACCESSIBILITY

Background

3.1 The application site is currently located adjacent to Hawkins Lane on the north-western side,

approximately 1km north of Burton-upon-Trent town centre. From the south, Hawkins Lane

begins at a signal controlled junction with Horninglow Street, approximately 200 metres

south of the development site. The road runs south-west to north-east for approximately

1.4km until the road meets a priority controlled roundabout with Princess Way, Wetmore

Road and the A5121 Derby Road.

3.2 The local highway network has been illustrated in Figure 3.1 and the strategic regional

highway context is contained within Figure 3.2.

Pedestrian and Cycle Facilities

3.3 The existing site is located approximately 1km from the town centre, which equates to less

than a 13 minute walk (based on an average walk speed of 4.8km/hr). Footpaths are

provided along both sides of Hawkins Lane. These are of variable width between 1.8-4.0

metres and street lighting is also present.

3.4 Across the signalised site access junction as well as the signalised junction of Hawkins Lane

and Horninglow Street, there will be signal controlled pedestrian crossings on the arms of

the junction which will provide easy pedestrian movements around the site entrance as well

as allowing safe movement from nearby residential areas to the site.

3.5 There are currently no official cycle routes running along Hawkins Lane itself, however there

are several sections of cycle paths/signed routes/on carriageway cycling routes in the area.

3.6 The proposed Tesco store will have 26 “Sheffield” style secure bike stands, providing 52

cycle spaces for use of colleagues and customers. These will be located in a highly visible

area close to the store entrance, under the stores canopy.

3.7 A plan to show the local cycle routes can be found in Figure 3.3.

3.8 A non-motorised user catchment plan detailing 3.75 minute (300m), 5 minute (400m) and 10

minute (800m) walking isochrones, along with a 6 minute (1,600m) cycling isochrone is

included as Figure 3.4.




Passenger Transport

3.9 Accessibility to the store by public transport is provided by one bus service which operates

along Horninglow Road adjacent to the site providing access to and from the town centre

and train station, as well as Uttoxeter via Tutbury and Doveridge. A bus stop for eastbound

buses is located on Horninglow Road 300m from the proposed pedestrian access (located

on the south-western edge of the car park) and a bus stop for westbound buses on the

opposite side of the road.

3.10 A summary of the local bus services stopping at the Horninglow Road stop is presented in

Table 3.1.

3.11 Although not serving the Horninglow Road stop that is nearest to the store, there are further

services in and around Burton-upon-Trent. A plan showing these services and the routes the

services take is presented in Figure 3.5.

Vehicular Access

3.12 Vehicular access to the store will be provided by way of a new traffic signal controlled

junction on Hawkins Lane. The junction will also provide access to the petrol filling station as

well as provide access for the servicing vehicles.

3.13 Access to the service yard will be provided from an internal priority junction that will direct

the service vehicles away from the car park and around to the service area.

Proposed Car Parking

3.14 The store car park will be managed and operated by Tesco and as such, has in part been

designed to meet the companies own standards as well as to be fully compliant with all local

parking provision guidelines.




3.15 A summary of the car parking provision is provided in Table 3.2.

Table 3.2 Summary of car parking provision

Car park schedule Proposed

General spaces 467

Disabled spaces 28

Parent and child spaces 20

Total 515

3.16 This includes the provision of 20 Parent and child spaces for use by customers with young

children. Additionally, 28 spaces are provided for blue badge holders along with 467

general use spaces. Total provision within this car park is for 515 spaces.

3.17 No restrictions to the length of stay within the car park are proposed from the outset.

However, Tesco continuously monitor the usage of the car park and will implement such

measures should excessive long term usage become apparent.




4 OBJECTIVES AND TARGETS

The Focus of the Travel Plan

4.1 This Travel Plan is focused primarily on colleagues and therefore the majority of measures

proposed are intended to encourage colleagues to vary, or change, their reliance on private

car travel.

4.2 This focus on colleagues has been adopted because the Government’s main focus for

Travel Plans has been towards employers and as such, it is considered realistically more

feasible to evaluate travel patterns and successfully implement quantifiable initiatives with

store colleagues than the more variable customer base.

4.3 It is recognised that not all customers have access to a car and there is the potential to

influence customer travel behaviour to a degree. Therefore the measures aimed at

customers are more directed towards increasing awareness of alternatives to private car

use through the display and promotion of information on notice boards and leaflets. Tesco

will continue to promote its home shopping facility with the aim of increasing the number of

shoppers using the internet rather than visiting the store.

Objectives

4.4 There are a number of objectives, both at national and local level that the implementation of

the Travel Plan is intended to help fulfil:

to influence travel behaviour of colleagues;

to generate fewer single-occupancy car trips made by colleagues than would

otherwise be the case, by influencing a modal shift in travel to the store;

to encourage safe and viable alternatives for accessing the store;

to reduce the need for unnecessary journeys by store colleagues;

reduction in overall vehicle mileage;

to help improve the health of colleagues and customers;

accommodating those journeys that need to be made by car; and

recognising that social inclusion is vital in promoting accessibility to the store by

non-car based modes.

Forecast Colleague Modal Split

4.5 As the new foodstore represents new development, there is no available colleague base

from which to determine travel patterns to work and for which to set targets against. A

Colleague Travel survey will be carried out 6 months after store opening, enabling this data

to be presented at an early stage.




4.6 The results of the colleague travel questionnaires will be used to illustrate the journey to

work modal split along with other relevant information, which will be presented in the

subsequent sections of the Travel Plan.

Colleague Modal Split and Journey to Work Data

4.7 Travel to work data from the 2011 census for the Burton Ward has been used to consider

the current trends for travel to work for the local area.

4.8 In order to provide an indication of travel to work patterns that are consistent with the

operation of a foodstore, the data has been adjusted so that working from home is not

included. A further adjustment has also been made to provide an approximation for single

occupancy car trips by taking the quantum of car passenger away from the value for car

drivers.

4.9 A summary of the travel to work data for the Burton Ward is provided in Table 4.1.

Other 0.6% 0.6%

*Due to the operation of a foodstore, colleagues will not be offered opportunity to work from home

4.10 The data presented in Table 4.1 shows that the majority of journeys to work for people that

travel (59.9%) are carried out by car. A large proportion of people walk to work (25.9%) with

the remaining 14.2% being distributed across the other modes such as cycling, bus or

motorcycle.

Actual Colleague Modal Split

4.11 The modal split of colleagues for the proposed store will be assessed 6 months after the

store opening. Colleagues will be asked the distance that they travel to work and the time in

which it takes, the results from which will be presented as the examples illustrate in Figure

4.1 and Figure 4.2 below.

4.14 During the travel survey colleagues will be asked what type of measures might encourage

them to travel by a means alternative to the car for their journeys to and from work. A

schedule of the most popular measures will be presented in Table 4.2.

Measure Number of Colleagues

Targets

4.15 Travel Plans are evolving documents that need to remain adaptable to changing working

practices and local conditions, therefore the Travel Plan targets are set annually after

commencement. Initial targets have been set based on the 2001 Census data, however

these will be revised according to the results of the colleague travel survey to be conducted

6 months after the opening of the store.

4.16 The key Travel Plan targets are based on the aforementioned principle objectives of the

Travel Plan and are:

to aim to reduce the overall number of single-occupancy colleague journeys to work

by car by 3% within the first 12 months of the implementation of the Travel Plan,

when compared with the number of trips derived from the colleague travel survey to

be undertaken 6 months after the opening of the store;

to aim to reduce the overall number of single-occupancy colleague journeys to work

by car by 5% within two years, when compared with the number of trips derived

from the colleague travel survey to be undertaken 6 months after the opening of the

store;

to aim to reduce the overall number of single occupancy colleague journeys to work

by car by 10% during the following three years (within 5 years of

implementation), when compared with the number of trips derived from the

colleague travel survey to be undertaken 6 months after the opening of the store;

to aim to increase the overall number of employees travelling to work on foot by a

minimum of 10% over a five year period, when compared to the number of trips

derived from the colleague travel survey to be undertaken 6 months after the

opening of the store;

to aim to increase the overall number of employees travelling to work by public

transport by a minimum of 10% over a five year period, when compared to the




number of trips derived from the colleague travel survey to be undertaken 6 months

after the opening of the store;

to aim to increase the overall number of employees travelling to work by car share

by a minimum of 10% over a five year period, when compared to the number of

trips derived from the colleague travel survey to be undertaken 6 months after the


to aim to increase the overall number of employees travelling to work by bicycle by

a minimum of 10% over a five year period, when compared to the number of trips

derived from the colleague travel survey to be undertaken 6 months after the


4.17 The colleague travel survey would be used to monitor after the first 12 months of the plans

operation to assess the progress towards the first target of a 3% reduction by 12 months as

well as progress towards the second target of a 5% reduction in single occupancy car travel

after two years.

4.18 The foodstore would be expected to employ around 300 colleagues. Figures and targets will

be updated accordingly following confirmation of actual colleague numbers and colleague

travel patterns which will only be accurate once the store is operational. Targets will then be

finalised at that time to make more specific and achievable targets for the site.

4.19 Table 4.3 presents the breakdown of the target annual modal share across first five years of

monitoring presenting the change in colleagues participating in each form of transportation

at present and after five years. As previously mentioned, these targets and colleague

numbers may change so that an accurate representation of the store is presented.

Measures to Promote Sustainable Travel

4.20 The following measures will be provided at the store to promote sustainable travel to the

site:

installation of secure on-site cycle parking by the completion of the development;

installation of a travel awareness notice board containing up to date information on

bus timetables, cycle route and travel scheme by the completion of the

development;

set up a Bicycle User Group within 12 months of the completion of the development;

set up a car sharing database upon occupation of the store;

operate a ‘Walking Buddy’ scheme within 12 months of the completion of the

development; and

to provide free emergency travel home upon occupation of the store.

5 TRAVEL PLAN INITIATIVES

5.1 To ensure that the opportunities for modal shift can be realistic there are a number of

measures that will be implemented and encouraged by the store.

5.2 As alluded to earlier in the Travel Plan, the document sets out a range of measures and

initiatives designed to influence the modal choice for the journey to work. In addition, the

Travel Plan includes initiatives to enhance the dissemination of information to customers

regarding the opportunities for completing journeys to the store by travel modes alternative

to the car.

5.3 In order to ensure each measure is offered the opportunity to influence travel behaviour,

each is initially given equal priority which may be reviewed during the subsequent

monitoring process.

Measures to Influence Colleague Travel

5.4 The store will provide a wide range of on-site facilities for colleagues, which will serve to

negate the need for further trips to be made away from the store.


5.5 Information relating to the potential for travel to the store by non car modes will be

disseminated to colleagues by way of a travel awareness noticeboard within the store prior

to the opening of the store. This board will be placed in the colleague canteen or

recreational areas to increase colleague awareness of the travel options available to them,

and the travel awareness noticeboard will be updated by the site Travel Plan Co-ordinator.

5.6 A copy of the Travel Plan will be made available on the travel awareness noticeboard and a

letter will be circulated to colleagues with the first pay-packet following the commencement

of the plan to advise colleagues of the introduction of the Travel Plan. Further information

regarding the location of the noticeboard and the name of the Travel Plan Co-ordinator will

be provided. In addition, colleagues will be advised of the existence notice of the Travel Plan

via the Tesco internal ‘Team -5’ communications.

5.7 The board will provide information about the Travel Plan and the reasons for it, advise

colleagues of the available public transport provision in the vicinity of the store, bus

timetables and contact information, cycle routes and pedestrian access.

5.8 The notice board will also contain copies of the leaflets produced by the Council bringing

awareness to the rules of the public highway and the safe use of modes of transport such as

mopeds and motorcycles.




5.9 The travel awareness noticeboard will also be used to bring awareness to national and

international events promoting non-car use such as World Environment Day, National

Liftshare Day, Bike Week, Bike2Work and European Mobility Week.

Measures to Promote and Facilitate Cycling

5.10 The store will provide the following facilities to encourage cycling to and from the store:

changing and washing facilities for colleagues;

secure lockers for colleagues;

a 10% discount is provided to all colleague members buying bicycles and bicycle

equipment from Tesco Direct and in store;

provision of secure and visible cycle parking stands (implemented by the site

contractor during construction);

provision of information on the local cycle network illustrated on maps to be

produced by Tesco and made available to colleagues through the travel awareness

notice board in the canteen or recreational areas;

arrangement of free transport home for colleague pedal cyclists in the event of an

emergency; and

create a Bicycle User Group (BUG) for employees.

5.11 Leaflets detailing the health benefits of cycling will be placed on the travel awareness

noticeboard and included as part of a colleague ‘starter’ pack for those newly employed at

the store.

Cycle Purchase Discount

5.12 After 6 months employment all Tesco colleagues qualify for a 10% discount on a wide range

of bicycles with varying prices from Tesco Direct. This will enable colleagues to take

advantage of the improved cycling infrastructure within the vicinity of the site.

5.13 Tesco currently run their own Cycle to Work scheme which provides Tesco colleagues the

opportunity to get a new bike, tax free. This will be publicised through the colleague notice

board as well as through the Travel Plan Co-ordinator and will be offered to colleagues once

they have completed their probationary period within the company

Bicycle User Group

5.14 The Travel Plan Co-ordinator will set up a BUG to promote cycling to the site.




Cycle Parking

5.15 The ongoing use of these facilities will be monitored to ensure the level of parking is

sufficient to meet demand

Measures to Promote Walking

5.16 Measures aimed at increasing the viability of accessing the store on foot will be based

around provision of the following facilities and benefits prior to the opening of the store

extension:

changing and washing facilities for colleagues;

secure lockers for colleagues;

provision of information on the ‘on and off highway’ pedestrian network routes to

colleagues, illustrated on maps produced by Tesco and made available to

colleagues through the travel awareness noticeboard in the colleague canteen and

recreational areas;

promote a ‘walking buddy’ scheme for employees, similar to car sharing;

provide pedestrian access within and into the store, including paved areas and

improved lighting; and,

organise a free ride home for colleague walkers in the event of an emergency.

5.17 Leaflets detailing the health benefits of walking will be placed on the colleague travel notice

board.

Measures to Promote and Facilitate Passenger Transport Use

5.18 Accessibility to and the use of public transport is considered to be a key element of any

Travel Plan. Tesco will implement the following measures to encourage public transport

use:

provide up-to-date public transport information including timetables and bus

company contact information on the transportation notice board; and,

organise a free ride home for employees travelling by public transport in the event of

an emergency.

5.19 Tesco are unable to promote the provision of discounted public transport travel through the

use of interest free loans for the purchase of annual season tickets, due to the variety of

colleague shift patterns that are worked by employees often resulting in travel at times of the

days where individuals will not be able to directly benefit from discounted travel.

5.20 The reasons set out above would preclude Tesco from acting as an 'agent' for the local bus

operator in the sale of annual season tickets, which may enable any discounts earned to be




passed onto colleagues. Additionally, food retail operators experience a high turnover in

their workforce that would not yield a return in their investment in this regard.

Car Sharing

5.21 Car sharing is a good means of reducing single-occupancy journeys to work. The

practicalities of car sharing within superstores may be limited due to varying colleague shift

times and the high proportion of women employees who may not be willing to accept lifts.

5.22 Tesco will promote a car sharing scheme for its colleagues prior to the opening of the store

to encourage those driving to work to offer lifts to colleagues. The in-house scheme will

promote Questionnaires and invitations to join the car share scheme which will be circulated

within a month of the store commencing trading. The colleagues at food stores such as

Tesco differs from those working in an office environment in that only a small proportion of

the employees have access to a networked computer terminal and hence the use of a

central database system may not be the most effective means of implementing a car-

sharing scheme. Therefore, a basic scheme using the travel awareness noticeboard will be

adopted in the first instance with the following website promoted

http://www.tescocarshare.com/.

5.23 Car sharing leaflets will be made available on the travel awareness noticeboard detailing the

car sharing proposals and how employees can get involved and participate in the scheme. A

car sharing registration form will be circulated to all those that indicate a willingness to enter

the car share scheme, an example of which can be found in Appendix B.

5.24 Colleagues will also be directed, through the travel awareness noticeboard, to the liftshare

website, www.liftshare.com, to encourage colleagues to sign up to lift sharing and using the

walkBUDi and bikeBUDi schemes. The cost calculator function on the website will also be

promoted to colleagues to allow colleagues to calculate the monetary savings they would

make through lift sharing. Tesco will also look to publicise National Liftshare Day

encouraging colleagues to use the day to try out car sharing which will aim to persuade

more colleagues to car share regularly.

5.25 There are recognisable benefits associated with car sharing, including:

reduced travel costs;

opportunities to travel without the stress of daily driving; and,

provides opportunities to socialise.

5.26 Tesco also recognise the reasons why colleagues are often reluctant to car share, including:

no flexibility to travel in unforeseen circumstances;

the need to travel at agreed times and the possible consequential loss of flexible

working practices; and,

http://www.tescocarshare.com/

http://www.liftshare.com/




possible increased journey time and loss of ability to undertake linked trips, (i.e.

work-leisure-shopping-home).

5.27 A note entitled car sharing ‘your questions answered’ is provided in Appendix C

Colleague Shifts

5.28 While it may not be feasible to re-arrange the entire shift structure of the store owing to the

range of functions and the need for operational flexibility, the store will ensure that where

colleagues submit a reasonable request for minor amendments to their working hours, (for

example starting half an hour later) to facilitate the use of non-car modes of transport, the

store management will endeavour to accommodate this. This pledge will be made known to

colleagues through the notice board.

5.29 Due to the nature of the business, allowing colleagues to work from home or work short

weeks/ fortnights (9 days in 10) is not possible.

Colleague Suggestions

5.30 The colleague travel survey to be undertaken 6 months after the opening of the store will

include asking colleagues to identify measures which would encourage them to use

alternative modes of transport to the private car. Suggestions which will arise during the

survey will be presented in Table 4.2, and these ideas will be addressed at each review of

the Travel Plan.

5.31 The proposed measures, date of implementation of the Travel Plan, method of monitoring,

the identification of individual responsible and the means of publicising the Travel Plan

initiatives are set out in Chapter 6. A flow diagram of these measures, identified in the form

of a time line is presented in Table 5.1.

Measures to Reduce Car Use by Customers

5.32 Although it is difficult to control the travel behaviour of the public, several measures will be

put in place to increase awareness and encourage the shopping public to change their

mode of travel by making the store as accessible as possible.

Home Shopping

5.33 The Tesco home shopping service will be operated locally and will provide customers with

the opportunity to obtain shopping without the need to make journeys to the store. It is

Tesco’s aim to grow this element of the business by approximately 20% per annum and thus

will undoubtedly have the largest influence over a period of time on the shopping patterns of

the public.

Taxi and Private Hire Vehicles

5.34 The need for vehicle use to transport bulky or heavy shopping home is considered to be a

key reason for private car use by customers. A free-phone will be provided in the store to

allow customers to easily arrange a taxi home after using alternative means of travel to the

store. All taxi firms used are vetted by Tesco to make sure that their prices remain

competitive.


5.35 A further version of the travel awareness noticeboard will be displayed close to the customer

service area of the shop floor and will contain details of the local bus network and

timetables, public transport network route plans, train timetables, cycle route maps and

information, along with contact numbers and other leaflets of relevance. This information will

be updated by the Travel Plan Co-ordinator.

Leaflets

5.36 To generate immediate awareness of these initiatives, free leaflets will be produced

advertising alternative means of travel for the public and these will be placed next to the

checkouts, or provided to customers.

Cycle Parking Provision

5.37 In conjunction with the proposed development, 26 high quality, secure cycle parking stands,

creating 52 spaces will be provided in close proximity to the main store entrance. As

previously detailed the level of use and demand for these spaces will be continually

monitored and additional provision will be made if the demand is sufficient.




Benefits to the Individual

5.38 In order to get involvement from colleagues and customers, and successfully promote the

plan to them, it is important to outline the benefits to the individual. The information will be

displayed on the colleague travel awareness notice boards and customer information notice

boards and include:

Improved health – walking and cycling to the store can bring about a number of

health benefits, for instance half an hour of cycling or walking a day can reduce the

risk of heart disease by 50%;

Cost benefit – fuel alone costs around 10 pence per mile so those who walk, cycle

or car share will have reduced travelling costs;

Convenience – more choice of transport can make travelling to and from the store

more convenient;

Social benefits – the increased opportunity to travel with other colleague members,

for instance by car sharing is likely to improve the social environment of the store;

Improved lifestyle – the awareness that travel choice has an impact on the local and

global environment will enable both colleagues and customers to appreciate their

surroundings and contribute to its protection.

Benefits to the Store & Development

5.39 The implementation of the Travel Plan will also have benefits for the store including:

Reduced sickness – as colleagues walk or cycle more, there should be improved

health and reduced absenteeism due to this;

Community recognition – knowledge that Tesco is environmentally and socially

aware will spread via colleagues and customers, and through promotion of the plan;

Reduced site congestion – less single occupancy car trips will lessen traffic

congestion;

Improved recruitment and colleague retention – making the store easily accessible

by a range of non-car modes increases the potential for more people to be able to

work at the store whether or not they have access to a car. It also helps to promote

social inclusion and reduces the likelihood for leaving employment due to

experiencing travel difficulties;

Improved sales – with easy access to the store by non-car modes, customers

without access to a car are able to visit the store.

Benefits to the Community

5.40 Government guidance on the need for Travel Plans is aimed at bringing benefits to the

community as a whole such as:




Reduced traffic congestion – with less car use the congestion on local roads would

be reduced especially at peak hours; and

Bicycle User Group – with more people using this facility it will help increase the

“community spirit” and bring communities closer together.

Benefits to the Environment

5.41 A successful Travel Plan will lead to a change in modal shift and a reduction in the use of

the car. As cars are a major generator of pollutants, for instance emissions from road

transport now constitute over 70% (Department of the Environment Transport and Regions

1999) of all emissions of carbon monoxide, this will lead to improvements in both local and

global air quality and climate.

Travel Plan Co-ordinator

5.42 Central to the success of the Travel Plan will be the appointment of a Travel Plan Co-

ordinator (TPC) who will be supported by an external consultant. The TPC role will be

fulfilled by the Store Manager or an alternative appointed person within the new proposed

store. The appointed individual will be made known to the County Council upon inception

and will be the main driving force behind the plan and should be an individual with sufficient

time and resources to manage the plan effectively, with the following responsibilities:

oversee the development and implementation of the Travel Plan;

collect data and information regarding local bus service time tables, changes to

services and amendments;

be the main point of contact for all colleagues requiring information regarding the

Travel Plan;

ensure all information regarding cycle routes/bus service time tables are kept up to

date and readily available;

be responsible for the maintenance of the transportation notice board; an example

of which is presented in Appendix D;

to arrange for travel surveys to be undertaken where necessary;

manage the setting up and running of the car sharing data base; and,

assist in monitoring the success of the Travel Plan.

5.43 The time spent by the TPC performing the role will be dependent on the success of the

Travel Plan but adequate scope will be provided by Tesco to increase the time spent on

Travel Plan matters where required.

5.44 The Travel Plan will be implemented by the store under the control of the TPC, who will

work in conjunction with the local authority, the local community and other interested parties

for the continuing progression of the Travel Plan.

5.45 The TPC will be supported at national level by a corporate Travel Plan steering group, who

are responsible for the development of Tesco national policy with respect to Travel Plans.




Funding

5.46 The external consultant support role is retained by Tesco and paid an annual fee to

undertake these duties. Similarly a fee is also paid to implement the Travel Plan. Costs

relating to the updating, printing and presentation of travel awareness information are

absorbed by the TPC’s organisation.

5.47 As the majority of the Travel Plan initiatives and actions are related to the TPC’s role, the

implementation of the scheme i.e. additional bus stop or as part of the general operational

business i.e. Home shopping, the costs related to the implementation required as part of the

surety of the TPC fees.

5.48 The in-store TPC fulfils the role in conjunction with their existing duties and therefore no

additional cost is borne by this role.

Monitoring and Review Mechanisms

5.49 The intent of Travel Plans is that there will be an on-going improvement process including

periodic monitoring, where necessary. The whole Travel Plan will then be reviewed in

consultation with the local authority. Additional objectives and targets will be included if

future surveys deem necessary.

5.50 The TPC will form a contact point for communication with the local authority. Findings from

Authority discussions and reviews will be communicated to colleagues via the notice board

and communication sessions.

5.51 On each anniversary of the permission, the TPC will produce a monitoring report in liaison

with the local Planning Authority (LPA), and will be agreed with the Highway Authority. Any

measures arising from this liaison with the LPA will be incorporated in to the Travel Plan.

Formal monitoring will continue for the first 5 years of the plan’s life.

5.52 Monitoring and review of the progress of the Travel Plan, both at store level and the holistic

company progress, will be undertaken on a national basis via the corporate steering group.

The findings of this review will be communicated to the store TPC.

Colleague travel surveys and targets

5.53 Repeat surveys of the colleagues’ methods of travel to work will be undertaken as part of

the review process. The first will be carried out 6 months after the opening of the store with

the second survey being carried out 1 year after. These will be of a more basic nature,

seeking to determine any change in modal split and up take of the Travel Plan initiatives. A

further survey of colleague travel will be undertaken 5 years after implementation.




5.54 Following each of the annual performance reviews, feedback will be given to all employees

with regard to the level of modal shift that has occurred, in order to share information

regarding the performance of the scheme, and encourage colleague ‘buy in’. This process

will give the colleagues ownership of the Travel Plan and the modal shift achieved.

5.55 In addition to the measures prescribed, during the first five years, a budget of £10,000 pa

will be available following a 5% shortfall. This budget may be spent on such initiatives as

free breakfast club for cyclists, free coffee morning for walkers, etc.

5.56 For shortfalls of less than 5% monies will be allocated on a sliding linear scale as indicated

in Table 5.2.

Table 5.2 The level of shortfall

Shortfall (%) Amount (£)

1 2,000

2 4,000

3 6,000

4 8,000

5 10,000

Marketing and Communication

5.57 In addition to the initiatives already outlined within the Travel Plan, there will be on-going

marketing and communication of information following the launch.

Dissemination and Feedback

5.58 Information on the Travel Plan, for example new initiatives will be disseminated to

colleagues via the existing ‘Team-5’ communications system. Colleague feedback on the

Travel Plan will be possible via the periodic ‘Colleague Forum Meetings’. The ‘Team-5’

communication system will consist of strategic weekly ‘Team 5’ meetings, at which targets

and issues can be discussed by all colleagues. These targets are disseminated company-

wide. Charts and posters in the colleague areas within the store highlight the on-site

activities. The store TPC will also look to produce a regular newsletter for colleagues

highlighting the successes of the Travel Plan and highlighting any changes which may

encourage further modal shift away from single occupancy car journeys.

New Colleagues

5.59 To determine the potential effect of new colleagues at the store, personnel will be asked to

complete the colleague travel questionnaire as part of their induction. In this way, the travel

patterns of new colleagues can be considered in the same light as those for existing

colleagues. Information will also be provided for new colleagues within their induction pack

on various means of non-car access to the store.




Colleague Welcome Packs

5.60 An induction pack will be provided for colleagues, this will contain information on the various

means of non-car based accessibility to the store. This starter pack will provide a range of

transport information to help promote sustainable travel including:

Location map highlighting local travel facilities such as bus stops and cycle stands;

Site specific passenger transport information including timetables;

Links to local relevant websites with travel information such as passenger transport

operator information and cycling organisations;

A localised walking and cycling map;

Information about the store Travel Plan and its key objectives; and

Information on other sustainable travel services such as car share promotional

material and local car clubs.

On-Going Marketing

5.61 The Travel Plan will be officially launched following the opening of the new store. The Travel

Plan will be continually marketed through the provision and updating of travel information,

leaflets and internal communication sessions.

Partnerships

5.62 Tesco are committed to promoting the benefits of travelling to the store by means other than

car based modes. This would be implemented by the TPC in conjunction with the council

providing enough notice is given to allow suitable time to implement promotional materials

prior to any such event

Hawkins Lane, BURTON-UPON-TRENT – Travel Plan Car sharing 'Your questions answered’

Why Car Share?

• You can cut the cost of your journey

to work by sharing petrol costs

• You can help to reduce traffic

congestion and pollution on your

route to work

• Cutting down on the number of days

you drive to work will reduce the

stress you may suffer while sitting in

traffic jams

• Car sharing is a sociable activity which

enables you to meet people you don't

usually come into contact with

How does the car sharing scheme work?

First complete and return the tear off slip on

this leaflet. Your information will be fed into

the car share database. The computer will

match you with others who travel to work on

a similar route and who will wish to car share.

You can choose whether you wish to share

with a smoker or someone of the opposite

sex. We will send you a list of contact as

soon as possible. Tesco will act through the

travel plan co-ordinator as a broker, it is up

to you to get in touch with the individuals

willing to car share and decide whether you

are happy to car share with the individual(s)

and agree an arrangement which is mutually

convenient for all concerned.

What about insurance?

You must be fully insured and should inform

your insurance company that you have

registered with the scheme. Carrying

passengers on the journey to work and

receiving contributions from them will not

normally require special insurance

arrangements provided the charge made for

the journey does not involve any profit (and

the vehicle cannot carry more than eight

passengers). Vehicles should, of course, be

taxed and MOT tested.

What about sharing the costs?

It is up to you to decide how to split the

costs, but arrangements for payment should

be made before a journey has begun. You

can share by taking it in turns to drive week

by week without charging each other.

Alternatively, car sharers can agree to split

fuel costs. If desired, the driver is entitled to

charge on the basis of a mileage rate to

cover running costs (including fuel,

depreciation, servicing etc.), but must not

make a profit. The mileage rate should be

divided by the number of people in the car.

What if I am a car share passenger and

there is an emergency, meaning I must

go home straight away?

If there is no suitable alternative and you are

registered and a participating member of

the car share scheme you will be sent home

in a taxi, free of charge.
