Developers
Creating successful developments goes beyond constructing buildings; it's about building sustainable, connected communities where people thrive. At GO Travel Solutions, we specialise in partnering with land developers to integrate sustainable transport solutions from the earliest stages of your projects.
We believe in a proactive, place-making approach, minimising the need for costly retrofits and maximising the long-term value of your developments. By collaborating closely with stakeholders and the local community, we ensure that sustainable travel initiatives are woven into the very fabric of your projects.
Our developer services
We offer a range of services tailored to the specific needs of land developers, helping you meet planning requirements, enhance community wellbeing, and create environmentally responsible developments.
Bus service scoping and development
Integrating reliable and convenient public transport is crucial for creating sustainable communities.
We offer:
Bus service scoping: Analysing the feasibility and demand for bus services within your development.
Bus service development: Working with local operators to design and implement new or enhanced bus routes that serve your development.
Benefits
Sustainable travel scoping
Early engagement is key to successful integration of sustainable transport.
Our services include:
Involvement at the Master Planning stage: Ensuring that sustainable transport measures are considered from the outset, influencing the overall site design.
Support in gaining planning permission: Demonstrating a commitment to sustainable transport can strengthen planning applications.
Building healthy and sustainable communities: Promoting active travel and reducing reliance on private vehicles.
We also conduct detailed site audits to identify existing transport infrastructure and potential opportunities for improvement. This includes assessing pedestrian and cycling routes, public transport accessibility, and the feasibility of implementing new sustainable transport, such as electric vehicle charging points and shared mobility schemes. We help developers to create a 'mobility hub' within the development, to encourage sustainable travel.

Framework travel plan:
A robust framework travel plan is essential for securing planning permission and guiding the development of sustainable transport within your project.
We provide:
Support in obtaining planning permission: Creating a travel plan that demonstrates a clear vision for sustainable transport.
Promotion of active and sustainable travel modes: Ensuring walking, cycling, and public transport are prioritised within the scheme.
Focus on health and wellbeing: Encouraging active travel options that benefit residents' health and contribute to a thriving community.
Building sustainable communities: Creating places where people choose to live and work, connected by sustainable and efficient transport networks.
Our framework travel plans include clear projections of costs and benefits, enabling developers to make informed investment decisions. Furthermore, we provide assistance with securing funding from local and national government sources, maximising the financial resources available for sustainable transport development.
Why this works:
Local partnership development
Building strong partnerships with local stakeholders is crucial for the success of any development.
We assist with:
Local stakeholder collaboration: Collaborating with local authorities and community groups to build consensus and address any concerns related to transport.
Delivery of wider community benefits: Ensuring that the development contributes positively to the surrounding area, including improved transport links and enhanced accessibility.
We can also organise community engagement events to gather feedback and build consensus on sustainable transport initiatives. This approach ensures that the development aligns with the needs of the local community and fosters a sense of ownership. Additionally, we assist in supporting Section 106 agreements, clearly defining and implementing sustainable transport obligations. We also help developers establish a community travel forum, allowing residents to have a continuous voice for the development of sustainable transport.
Why this works:
Other feasibility work
We can provide the expertise you need to assess the viability of different transport options, evaluate environmental impact, and support funding applications.
Real results, tangible benefits
Our approach:
We believe in a collaborative approach, working closely with our clients to understand their specific needs and develop tailored solutions. Our data-driven strategies ensure that every decision is informed by evidence, maximising the impact of our services.
LocalGO: the communities travel package
LocalGO is our unique community travel package designed to incentivise sustainable travel. We partner with local operators and providers to offer residents a range of exclusive discounts on public transport, cycling, car sharing, and other sustainable travel options. This can be a valuable tool for local authorities looking to promote public transport and active travel within their communities.
Through our work together with GO Travel Solutions they have understood the complexity and nuances of our development and provided solutions to ensure the appropriate sustainable travel benefits for our future community.
The promotion of sustainable transport is a vital part of creating sustainable and healthy places and communities, and Wintringham – with its proximity to St Neots and a mainline station just a short cycle away – provides real opportunities to ensure residents moving in choose cycle, walking or public transport options over their cars. We have and will continue to roll out the key infrastructure to support this from the first tree planted to the last brick laid. The role of activating that, and creating a culture of “car last, not car first” for travel choices requires strong partnership working and we are pleased to be working with GO Travel Solutions to help deliver our sustainable options for this exciting new community.
