Staff Travel

We want to encourage our staff to use active and sustainable forms of travel and our aim is to support staff to walk, run or cycle to work.

At the end of 2022 we ran our first annual Staff Travel Survey to find out how our staff are travelling to and from work. The results will help us to calculate our staff travel carbon footprint, understand the change in travel habits before and after the pandemic, and inform the future of the active travel engagement within Maidstone Borough Council.

Alongside our annual Staff Travel Survey we have introduced a travel hierarchy, encouraging staff to use active and sustainable forms of transport whilst travelling during work hours. As part of this initiative, new electric pool cars have been made available from our main offices, Maidstone House, and our Depot. These electric pool cars will allow staff to chose a more sustainable alternative to their own cars when travelling during work hours.
