TravelWise is not just about providing workplaces with travel related tools and products. It is a comprehensive process for travel planning that the workplace, ARTA, and Territorial Local Authorities (TLAs) commit to.

Your Commitment as a workplace:

Implementing actions

		To allocate the resources ($, labour) required to implement the travel plans activities and actions
		This commitment varies depending on the scale of the travel plan

Providing a travel plan project manager

		To secure and maintain senior management support, define the scope, plan the project, and manage the implementation of the travel plan.
		A travel plan project manager typically spends 8 - 16 hours a week on developing and implementing a travel plan (and up to 20 hours a week in the research and planning phases).

Providing a travel plan project owner

		To drive the travel plan where a workplace decides to outsource the project manager role
		A travel plan project owner typically spends 3 hours per week on managing the external contract and internal relationships.

Providing a steering group

		To support the project manager and project owner, assist in making decisions, as well as guiding and overseeing the travel plan project.
		This group should be made up of workplace representatives from each primary stakeholder group, including Human Resources, Sustainability (if your workplace has this), Corporate Services/Finance, and other senior managers who support the travel plan concept and can “champion” the cause.
		The steering group typically meets for half an hour on a fortnightly basis during set up, reducing to monthly and bi-monthly meetings as the travel plan progresses.

ARTA's Commitment

Providing a workplace travel plan coordinator

		To advise TravelWise workplaces
		Provide project templates, tools and services to workplaces for delivering travel planning activities.
		A travel plan coordinator typically provides a maximum of 2 workplace meetings during the set up phase, and follow-up telephone and e mail advice. Additional meetings may be provided at the discretion of the travel plan coordinator.
		A travel plan coordinator does NOT write any of the documentation required or perform administrative functions.

Providing resources (guidance, tools, and templates)

		Guides for each phase of the TravelWise process
		Project management templates
		Tools and services for delivering your travel planning activities (including the online staff travel survey, and staff consultation toolkit)
		Promotional tools (including passenger transport clinics and public transport timetables)

TLAs' Commitment
For larger scale projects, TLAs may have a role in:

		Coordinating transport infrastructure to suit the changing needs of the community
		Promoting workplace travel plans to local employers
		Linking workplaces with other organisations that are participating in TravelWise.
