The Global pandemic has had a huge impact on us all. At the moment the Government's advice remains to work from home if you can. But as restrictions start to ease and workplaces and schools start to re-open, people will need to start making travel choices. As we ease out of lockdown, one of the biggest challenges we will face is around maintaining social distancing measures. This will impact the capacity not only in our offices and workspaces but also on public transport, on our pavements and our road space.

To help you navigate this new landscape, Active Businesses Gloucestershire has pulled together a wide range of guidance, advice and information to help your organisations and your employees continue to work and travel both safely and sustainably. 

Government's Key message:
We can all help control the virus if we all stay alert. This means you must:

• stay at home as much as possible
• work from home if you can
• limit contact with other people
• keep your distance if you go out (2 metres apart where possible)
• wash your hands regularly
• don't leave home if you or anyone in your household has symptoms

Public Transport

The latest government advice is to use public transport only when absolutely essential, due to limited capacity in the system to enable social distancing.

Learn more about the latest measures in place to help with social distancing, the latest timetables for services and lots more helpful information.

Lift Sharing / EVs 

For those who have no alternative but to drive, please consider lift sharing, joining a car club or going electric. These measures will help keep the road network operating more smoothly and help tackle poor air quality - it could also save you money.
