As per the last travel survey 35% of staff/students travel to work via bus which could be replaced with walking, even if part of the route. Walking would support the active travel element and help to reduce CO2, which are all part of King’s objectives. With the Olympics also coming up public transport will have a higher demand placed on it and it would be of benefit to encourage staff to walk. The Camberwell Travel Plan Group have recently produced some maps which highlight local tube and train stations which staff can walk from. The aim of this project will be to add to this work that has already been carried out. Based on the walk to work week promotion that was run at KCH, free pedometers were a great incentive to attract staff and get them to sign up to the initiative of walking.

The funding for this project will be to raise awareness and incentivise staff to walk as part of their route to work.

200 walking goodie bags – Which include shoe bag, pedometer and foot kit will cost £600.00
