Transport for Greater Manchester business portal

#GetOnBoard background

On 29 September, Vernon Everitt, transport commissioner, launched TfGM’s Get On Board Integrated campaign promoting sustainable travel across Greater Manchester, with the past few months seeing exciting developments as we move towards an integrated transport network.

To support the business community, a new online business portal will support Greater Manchester firms in encouraging their workforce, customers and clients Get On Board with public transport, travel sustainably and help shape the future of the Bee Network.

The interactive portal, launched by Transport for Greater Manchester (TfGM) today, will act as a ‘one stop shop’ providing guidance for businesses looking to make the right travel choices and support the wider regional economy.

New low bus fares and a range of Metrolink tickets options during the cost of living crisis are here to help people get to where they need to be. Fully segregated walking, cycling and wheeling routes continue to be developed making streets safer and quieter for trips on wheels or by foot.

Get On Board with us as we build towards the Bee Network, increasing awareness of the vision for a fully integrated system comprising public transport and active travel, and how it is now beginning to support people in Greater Manchester.

The ask:

This toolkit provides content you can use on your own channels – internally to encourage employees to take advantage of the new fares and travel by bus for their journeys to/from the workplace, and externally to encourage the same for anyone visiting your site(s).
