TfGM makes final call for businesses to share their views on local transport

Transport for Greater Manchester (TfGM) is inviting businesses to share how they feel about public transport and active travel in the city-region before its Business and Employer Travel Survey closes on Friday 17th October.

The annual survey invites businesses to share how TfGM and the Bee Network can better support the workforce to choose public transport and active travel.

Greater Manchester is working towards an ambitious target for becoming carbon neutral by 2038, and transport plays a significant role in reaching this. Greater Manchester’s transport and travel priorities aim to provide an environmentally sustainable network which is accessible, affordable and easy to use, and that supports long-term economic growth and access to opportunity for all. Encouraging sustainable travel to and from the workplace, and how customers and visitors access businesses and services, can play an important part in meeting the city-region’s net-zero goals.

In light of this, TfGM’s Business Travel Survey provides organisations with the opportunity to give feedback on the opportunities and challenges for businesses choosing sustainable travel to inform advice and services, to improve the way TfGM communicates with businesses, and to shape the development of the Bee Network: Greater Manchester’s vision for an integrated London-style public transport network, bringing together rail, tram, bus and walking and cycling routes.

The Business Travel Survey takes only approximately 5 minutes to complete and can be completed online here by Friday 17th October.
