Available as a free bus travel ticket via the Parklife app, the free bus scheme is a brand-new service, available exclusively to businesses and staff based on Birchwood Park.
As part of the Park’s commitment to becoming more sustainable, the scheme has been launched to reduce car usage, whilst helping occupants and employees reduce travel costs during the ongoing cost-of-living crisis.
Officially launched at the beginning of November, the Park’s occupiers have been able to take advantage of free bus travel Monday to Friday from 7am – 8pm, using Warrington’s Own Buses, to-and-from their homes in Warrington to Birchwood Park.
Birchwood Park’s Commercial Director, Martin O’Rourke, commented: “The free bus scheme is something we have had in the pipeline for a long time now.”
“Not only will our occupiers and their employees be offered a greener way to travel to work each day, but the free bus scheme has also been created to support existing occupiers in their recruitment and retainment, making it easier for new and existing staff based locally to get to work without a vehicle.
Alongside the free bus scheme, the Warrington-based business park also offers several other sustainable travel options, as part of its award-winning travel plan. This includes an online car share platform, EV travel stations and extensive facilities for cyclists in the area.
Martin continued: “This is much-needed step in the right direction for our Park, to ensure we are on track towards becoming Net Zero in all our managed areas and buildings by 2030 and aiming to be Net Zero in all our occupier managed buildings by 2040.”
