• Would you try another way to travel but don’t think you have any other options?
• Would you walk or cycle but not sure where to start?
• Would you use the bus but don’t know which bus you need, where to catch it or what time they run?
• Would you car share but not sure how it works?
Our TravelWest Team are here to help answer these questions and, any more you may have about the journeys you need to make and the options available to you.
Our Travelwest Team are coming to your developmentOur team of travel advisers will be calling at homes, to discuss your personal travel needs and will offer free, impartial and professional advice. They will have a range of free travel offers available to help you try new ways of getting around. The range of offers include:
• Route planning – if you need to make a new journey, or try a different form of travel, our advisors can help.

• Accompanied Ride – If you’d like to gain more confidence in cycling a route we can accompany you.
• Dr Bike – If you already have a bike, but it needs some attention to get it running smoothly again, our mechanics can give it a once over. They can also provide help and advice on repairs and cycle maintenance.

• Car Sharing – we can help you find a car sharing buddy.
• Car Clubs – We have offers available to help you join a local car club such as membership deals and discounted drive time.
• Motor cycle training – If you want to get around on two wheels we can provide training to help you gain skills and confidence.
