Public Transport
Raised bus 'boarders' are now commonplace throughout Nottinghamshire
and allow easy access for those in wheelchairs or pushchairs together
with tactile paving for blind or partially sighted in the city centre.

Management Group.

Travel Plans
When re-locating to Sherwood Business Park, E-on (then Powergen)
established a travel plan to assist some 500 employees. It includes an
incentive car share scheme, staff buses and provision of public
transport information and covered cycle and motorcycle parking.
Marketing and promotion is a key factor.
