subject: New Travel Plans at Leeds Bradford [print this page] Soon it won't just be passengers who are looking for the best way to get to Leeds Bradford airport. The airport has just unveiled its new travel plan in which staff are also being urged to find their way there more economically.
While passengers will usually be car sharing, a large majority of staff are driving individually to the airport and are being encouraged to use more environmentally sustainable means of transport to get to and from work.
The strategy is hoped to improve travel to and from the airport and is a joint effort on the part of the airport, Leeds City Council and local travel authorities.
For passengers it might not be as easy to find their way there from miles away, but for those who want to get in on helping ease congestion through the city and around the airport itself, there is great off-airport parking near Leeds Bradford itself. The free shuttle busses that run from the Leeds airport parking sites to the airport will be a small step towards helping the new plan.
For passengers, travelling by car is usually a much quicker and easier way to commute to any airport. With masses of luggage, it makes much more sense than trying to struggle your way across the country, and even when parking is added it will almost always work out much cheaper than a taxi. It is also extremely easy to find safe, secure airport parking at Leeds Bradford that will offer you the convenient shuttle busses mentioned above.
For the staff though, the idea is that, over the next two years, nearly a third of all staff will travel to the airport by public transport, on foot, or in shared cars. The plan will also introduce a tax free bike incentive for airport workers.
