The Bath and NE Somerset Travel Forum meets two to three times a year, usually in Bath. The aim of this Forum is to bring together interested employers, developers and consultants to share information, gain mutual support and to promote best practice in sustainable commuting and business travel. It is also an opportunity for employers to meet transport operators and providers.
Many of these meetings are hosted by participating employers, enabling them to share their experiences and showcase their initiatives. Hosting employers have included the University of Bath, Bath Spa University, the Royal United Hospital, Curo, Buro Happold, Farrington’s Farm Shop, Grass Roots Group and Wessex Water.
