Cycle to Work Schemes Improving Employees Health and Wellbeing

22/12/2015

 
Picture
A recent article in Cycling Weekly has highlighted the contribution that Cycle to Work Schemes have on improving staff health and well being following a survey carried out by the Cycle to Work Alliance (CTWA). A recent survey conducted by the CTWA has highlighted the benefit to both employees and employers of staff cycling to work as part of the cycle to work scheme.

Nearly 90% of the participants of the survey believed their general fitness had improved, with 52% seeing some weight loss. 60% of those cyclists surveyed said that they got more done at work as a result of the way they commuted to work.

Cycle to Work schemes can encourage novice cyclists and non-cyclists to try cycling to work and can contribute to employers commitment to employee health and well being.

  • 1979 valid responses were received from TP+ commuters.
  • 7 organisations with the TP+ Area recorded a participation rate of over 50%.
  • 1 TP+ Area employer recorded an impressive drive alone figure of less than 31%.
  • The average distance travelled to work by those surveyed was 15.3 miles which is similar to the 2014 figure.

A full copy of the report is available on the TP+ website. 

Milton Road & Histon Road Consultation Launched

Picture
The Greater Cambridgeshire City Deal would appreciate your comments on ideas for better bus, cycle and walking trips along Milton Road and Histon Road, Cambridge.

The initial ideas have been divided into two options; 'Do Maximum' and 'Do Something'. The proposed measures include extended and additional bus lanes and priority signalling for buses, segregated cycleways and improved footways.

As well as requesting feedback on the proposed improvements drawn up by the City Deal, they would also welcome alternative ideas to improve bus, cycling and walking on these two routes.

Project Officers will be at the Cambridge Science Park Innovation Centre on Tuesday 19th and Thursday 21st January 2016 between 12.30 - 2pm. These informal drop in sessions will be an opportunity to look at the proposals in more detail and discuss with the Project Officers.

There will also be a number of informal drop-in events at venues in the Milton Road/Histon Road locality between the 12th and 26th January 2016.

Initial consultation ends on Monday 15th February 2016.
