Rethinking the
Workplace Travel Survey
Why do so many organisations still rely on clunky, low impact travel surveys that generate more admin than insight?
At CalCommuter, we believe workplace travel data should do more than sit in a report - it should drive meaningful, measurable change.
Our mission
to make workplace travel surveys more powerful and more actionable - helping organisations across the UK engage employees, reduce emissions, and understand exactly who has viable alternatives - and how best to support them to use those options.
​
We transform traditional staff travel surveys into data-driven tools for reducing car dependency and promoting active and sustainable transport.
CalCommuter turns short employee survey responses into:
Personal Travel Plans (PTPs) for every staff member
Commute-specific Scope 3 insights for employers
Clear opportunities for targeted behaviour change
Why It Matters
68% of commutes in the UK are made by car and car use makes up 39% of our national transport emissions (the largest emissions category in the UK).
In service based organisations (which make up 83% of employment in the UK), commuting often generates more emissions than all the gas and electricity used to power the organisation!
Yet most employers lack accurate data on:
-
How staff actually travel
-
What alternatives are genuinely viable
-
Where the greatest reduction opportunities lie
CalCommuter closes this gap with high quality, repeatable, and scalable commute analysis that organisations can trust year after year.
How It Works
-
Employees complete a 2-minute survey designed to be light, intuitive, and relevant.
-
Every respondent receives a Personal Travel Plan showing the cost, duration, and emissions of their current commute and any viable alternatives available for their specific journey and work schedule.
-
You receive rich organisational insights including current commute patterns, emissions baselines, and clear opportunities for targeted actions
Your travel and sustainability teams and partners get the analytics they need to design travel plans, campaigns, and interventions that reflect real-world travel options - not assumptions.
