Abstract

Health campus managers and employers influence how employees and visitors travel to their site in many ways, such as car parking provision, public transport facilities, remuneration options, work practices and information provided on travel options. These factors can be changed to encourage different travel choices, for example providing incentives, information and workplace facilities to support cycle commuting and public transport use and changing car parking allocation and charges. As well as addressing site access and local traffic impacts, travel plans can improve environmental performance and improve workforce health. Commute and visitor trips and the use of fleet vehicles generated by health sites should be considered as part of their ecological footprint along with energy and water consumption and waste. This paper outlines the travel plan prepared for a major health campus in Perth's inner suburbs, the QEII Medical Centre. The rationale for the plan, how it was developed and the key strategies adopted to manage travel demand are described. Challenges for implementing travel plans at hospital sites are discussed.
