Auckland Regional Transport Authority (ARTA) is setting up partnerships with Auckland-based workplaces to implement travel plans. Although numerous international best practice guides, case studies and research reports exist, a comprehensive "how-to" guide is lacking. The TravelWise-workplaces process closes this gap. Opus worked closely with ARTA to develop the process, which combines an internationally recognised project management methodology (Project Management Institute) with a proven process for delivering successful travel plans. The Auckland region Sustainable Transport Plan sets the scene for a co-ordinated, controlled roll out of travel plans across the Auckland region. The high value tools make travel plans more affordable to workplaces, and the process (and associated training) is closing the skills gap, making travel plans more accessible. The TravelWise-workplaces process is a step forward for the field of travel planning and will catalyse the delivery of travel plans in New Zealand. Auckland already has a world-leading walking school bus programme, the TravelWise-workplaces programme has the potential to follow suit.
