My personal driver during over 15 years of work at Mobilityways has been and remains the reduction of commuting emissions and enhancement of air quality.

However, what has become clear recently working with several hundred large employers including 40+ NHS Trusts is that sustainable access to work and training, reducing demand for parking, cutting do not attends, increasing productivity (through enhanced employee wellbeing) are the real imperatives - delivering these will also result in significant improvements in emissions and air quality.

I am delighted to be partnered with organisations such as the North-East Combined Authority (on a project currently covering 70,000 anchor institution employees) to enhance viable commuting to those employment sites.

The key to delivery has been the surfacing of data at an organisational and regional basis which helps us to work strategically with organisations like DASH, Octopus EV and Octopass (sustainable car park management). I would be very happy to explain more at the conference.
