- Government (local, regional and national)
- Individual travellers (commuting and leisure)
- Businesses
By increasing the proportion of walking, cycling and car sharing through the introduction of mobility plans (travel plans), flexible working, training and awareness raising events, the following benefits are reaped:
- Less congestion in cities Reduced CO2 emissions
- Increased fitness, wellbeing, productivity at work and longer life
- Decreased inactivity, obesity, heart disease and health care costs
- Avoiding costly new infrastructure by fully utilising existing capacity
- Increased recruitment and retention of employees
