Travelling to work
Journeyshare
Journeyshare is a scheme within Telford and Wrekin where people can sign up to a database to find others to share their journey to work with.
There are currently over 1,300 people registered on Journeyshare, so there are plenty of people to share your journey with, whether it's by car, walking, cycling or public transport.
Why not log on to journeyshare website and see if you can find a match and take the hassle out of getting to work on your own.
Car sharing
Anybody working in the Telford and Wrekin area can register for the scheme. You can choose to register as a driver, passenger or both by visiting the website. You will be asked details of your preferred journey times, your destination and you can also specify your likes and dislikes, for example, smoking or non smoking, if you wish. Only your email address will be disclosed to possible sharers. In order to make contact and arrange your share group, it is up to you to decide to email someone; no other personal contact details will be given.
Registering on Journeyshare does not mean you have to share, it's entirely up to you. But you may be pleasantly surprised at the benefits car sharing can provide:
- allocated car park spaces (at some companies)
- reduced travel costs
- companionship
- reduced congestion
The bigger the choice, the better the match to your journey. Same gender companions, smokers, non smokers; can all be accommodated.
Businesses
Journeyshare provides a range of benefits to employers, these include:- employees commuting together helping to reduce pressure on parking spaces
- a reduction in the carbon emissions from the staff commute
- sharing journeys helps to build relationships between employees
- promotion of JourneyShare helps promote positive social responsibility
