What is TravelWise?
ACT TravelWise is the UK's premier network for all organisations working to promote sustainable travel formed by the merger of the National TravelWise Association (NTWA) and Association of Commuter Transport (ACT) in early 2008. Their vision is a society in which people and organisations can meet their travel needs in ways that protect and enhance the environment, improve public health and support community well-being. Their mission is to support their members in their work to promote sustainable travel through provision of first-class learning opportunities, partnership working, marketing support and networking events, all with a specific focus on building expertise and experience in travel planning and other cost-effective demand management measures.
