Travelknowhow Scotland (TKHS) powered by CalCommuter, is offering Scottish employers a streamlined and data‑driven approach to measuring commuting emissions, understanding travel patterns and promoting sustainable travel choices.
As organisations across Scotland work towards net-zero targets and improved sustainability reporting, this programme provides an evidence-based approach to reducing scope 3 emissions from commuting and homeworking, while helping employees find greener, healthier and cost-effective travel options.
How Travelknowhow Scotland & CalCommuter Support Workplaces
- Integrated Emissions Measurement: Using the CalCommuter platform, TKHS helps organisations quantify scope 3 emissions from staff commuting, delivering accurate data ready for climate reporting.
- Insightful Travel Pattern Analysis: CalCommuter collects commute data from employees and provides actionable insights, identifying where walking, cycling, public transport or shared travel can replace single-occupancy car trips.
- Personalised Commute Planning: Every employee can receive a bespoke travel plan via CalCommuter, comparing the cost, duration and carbon impact of current versus sustainable travel options in minutes.
- Tailored Active & Sustainable Travel Advice: TKHS leverages CalCommuter to recommend realistic, evidence-based travel alternatives for each individual, helping organisations make informed decisions that reduce emissions and improve employee wellbeing.
Why This Partnership Matters
Combining Travelknowhow Scotland’s expertise in workplace travel planning with CalCommuter’s digital platform removes traditional barriers for employers seeking to implement sustainable commuting strategies. Businesses can easily understand their impact, engage staff and take action to reduce transport emissions – all at no cost through the funded programme.
Success Story: East Lothian Council
East Lothian Council worked with CalCommuter and Travelknowhow Scotland to map staff commuting patterns and calculate associated carbon emissions. Using the data, the Council provided personalised travel plans for employees, highlighting realistic alternatives such as walking, cycling, public transport, or car sharing.
The insights from this pilot have informed the Council’s new Travel Plan, embedding sustainable commuting in policy and providing a clear roadmap to reduce emissions, improve staff wellbeing, and support net-zero goals. This demonstrates how TKHS and CalCommuter deliver practical, measurable results for workplaces across Scotland.
