TRAVEL PLAN PLUS stands for “Travel Reduction Attainment Via Energy-efficient Localities PLANning”. It was a project that comprised six partners with expertise in mobility management, united by a vision that travel plans can be more efficient and effective if implemented jointly by local groups or networks of organisations (i.e. Local Travel Plan Networks) rather than on an individual basis so as to promote energy saving. The objective of the project was to promote energy efficiency through the use of LTPNs across the EU, and was achieved by developing a framework in order to aid and promote the implementation and dissemination of LTPNs in a systematic way; by implementing four LTPNs in representative locations across the EU; by monitoring and evaluating these LTPNs; and by providing recommendations for developing an effective policy framework and to encourage and support the widespread adoption of LTPNs across the EU. The work undertaken has provided important guidelines on the implementation process of use to policy makers and implementers.
