- Busnes craidd y sefydliad: Regional Transport Consortia /Sustainable transport
- Beth fydd y prosiect yn ei wneud?: TravelSmart in South West Wales ? This innovative scheme will be the first of its kind in Wales. It will facilitate and encourage people to make ?smarter choices? about how they access services and facilities. SWWITCH will work with the sustainable transport charity, Sustrans, and Socialdata, a leading international transport and social research institute, to develop and introduce two TravelSmart schemes within the region. These schemes will help to remove the barriers preventing greater use of walking, cycling and public transport. This will have benefits in terms of addressing carbon emissions and supporting healthier lifestyles. The project will also help to sustain public transport links between key settlements and strategic employment sites and thus address key Wales Spatial Plan access outcomes. The project links with the Regional Transport Plan for South West Wales in terms of the ?smarter choices? strategy, the policies and the programme.
