Transport Alliance

The Transport Alliance, born from a Transport Summit, combines both the private and public sector and represents Business Solent, Hampshire Chamber of Commerce, Southampton, Hampshire Economic Partnership, Southampton City Council, Eastleigh Borough Council and Transport for South Hampshire.

It was formed to address regional transport issues, through the creation of a lobbying group capable of influencing transport and infrastructure policy decisions.

Together they have put together a comprehensive transport plan for the region.

Recently a number of major employers in Southampton signed up to a public-private sector workplace travel planning initiative in the city. IKEA, Carnival and Southampton Solent University are among the employers participating in the scheme that has been launched by the Transport Alliance.

The major benefits to employers for developing a travel plan are efficiency savings from business travel, staff expenses, alleviation of parking pressures and fleet management.

Travel Plans are also said to have a positive effect on employee health, reduce absenteeism, cut carbon emissions and improve CSR profiles.
