9.3 - Costs

Introduction

Refer to chapter 3 for the components of cost that should be considered.

The availability of suitably trained and experienced people to establish and manage travel plans is an important aspect of this type of intervention. This can be a sizeable part of the cost and must be allowed for.

The cost of annual expenditure required to maintain the benefits of travel plans over the evaluation period following completion of the project should be estimated based on local experience and knowledge. For household/community based initiatives this is generally zero unless the proposal contains specific plans for follow-up measures. For workplace and school travel plans it is likely that some ongoing maintenance expenditure will be required to maintain benefits.
