Attention Businesses located in Midlothian!

Posted: 18th April 2024

The Workforce Mobility Project funded by the Edinburgh & South East Scotland City Region Deal invites employers and educational institutions in Midlothian to participate in the current round of engagement. The purpose of this is to better understand the sustainable journeys available to individuals travelling to access work or education.

What do you need to do?

Why take part?

  • You will receive an analysis of the journeys available to your employees/students traveling to and from your premises. Sustainable journeys include:
    • Bus/Train and other public transport
    • Walking, wheeling, and cycling
  • You can use this analysis for the following:
    • Develop and employee workplace travel plan (Free support via Travel Know How Scotland)
    • Implement a workplace parking levy
    • Adjust shift times to align with public transport schedules
  • Your participation in the engagement process positively contributes to the identification of key areas of travel demand which can help public transport operators plan and optimise routes.
