The most important people in our industry are the captains of the ships they all sail to a successful travel program. It is always my honor to give a shout-out to the travel managers and leaders who manage complex, complicated, and robust travel programs.

This short survey is to understand how businesses feel about the current public transport and active travel network in Greater Manchester, and what would encourage them to take up sustainable ways of traveling for their employees and business operations. Businesses must operate in Greater Manchester and participants need to be able to answer on behalf of their business.     The Business Travel Survey helps TfGM to be better informed around the challenges and opportunities for businesses taking up sustainable travel options, inform the design of advice, resources and services, improve the way they communicate with businesses and to track businesses attitudes and priorities over time. For example, responses from last year’s survey helped to inform the approach for a night time transport pilot launching later this year in parts of Greater Manchester.    Take the Business Travel Survey here 👉 https://lnkd.in/gua7Eb-e #BeeNetZero #SustainableTransport #PublicTransport #GreaterManchester

Couldn't say it better myself Nicola Madden-Greig OD. Madden-Greig.
