Q:
What is a travel decision tree?
A:
A travel decision tree is a series of questions for staff to consider before making a journey in their own car.
The first question is whether the journey is necessary or whether a telephone or video conference could be held instead.
If it is necessary, is it possible to use public transport, walk or cycle? If that isn’t an option, is a pool car or daily rental vehicle available?
Employees should also consider car sharing. Using a private car should be seen as the last resort.
