News articles about Act TravelWise and sustainable transport initiatives along with published news in the press are published here. Members also regularly submit news items covering initiatives at their organisation.
As there are a large number of suppliers (including consultants) among the Act TravelWise membership, we would like to more efficiently communicate the 'supplier offer' to the non-supplier members. This way everyone will have a clearer idea of the range of work conducted by each supplier, who to contact, and whether any member discounts are available. Our 'supplier profile form' will allow for this. If you are a member and a supplier, the form should be completed and returned by 1 May 2019.
