Workplace travel plan types and statuses

Each workplace should have at least one travel plan (TP), which is given a status to indicate the point it has reached in the travel plan process.

The available travel plan statuses (stages) depend on whether the travel plan is a Planning Obligation Travel Plan or a Voluntary Travel Plan. The majority of workplace travel plans are Planning Obligation travel plans.

Planning Obligation Travel Plan Statuses

The Planning Obligation TP statuses/stages are shown in the table below:  

Status

Definition

Proposed

This status would be assigned to a dummy-organisation at a site for which planning permission has been granted. This indicates that a TP is proposed to be adopted by an organisation at some point after occupancy.

Pending

This status would be assigned to an actual-organisation at a site for which planning permission has been granted. This will be used in the period after an organisation has taken occupancy of a site (or part of a site), and before the actual TP has been adopted.

Adopted

This status would be assigned to an organisation that has adopted a TP.

Lapsed

This status would be assigned to an organisation whose TP had lapsed.

Unenforced

This status would be assigned to an organisation whose TP was unenforced.

Voluntary Travel Plan Statuses

The Voluntary TP statuses/stages are shown in the table below:

Status

Definition

1 - Expression of Interest

This status indicates that an organisation is interested in developing and adopting a travel plan at this site.

2 - Partnership Pledge Signed

This status is assigned when the workplace has signed up to an incentive scheme. (The date the pledge was signed must be entered in iTRACE.)

3 - Survey and Site Audit Completed

This status is assigned when an iTRACE site audit has been completed, or if travel survey summary results have been manually entered in iTRACE.

4 - Travel Plan Developed

This status is assigned to a workplace when they formally adopt a travel plan. (The date of adoption must be entered into iTRACE.)
