Tuesday 24 March

Around 70 people attended Metro's roadshow for businesses and organisations in Leeds on Friday 20 March.

Delegates were able to find out about Metro's Travel Plan Network, set up to help West Yorkshire employers promote sustainable ways of travelling to and from work.

They also had the chance to take the Transport Carbon Footprint Test, try out the 'yournextbus' real time information service and see Metro's free Metro Messenger e-mail alert system in action.

People who attended Friday's roadshow described it as a useful opportunity for making good contacts, networking and putting faces to names.

Metro Director General Kieran Preston described the event as 'excellent and truly professional'.

"I was enormously impressed by the enthusiasm and knowledge shown by Metro staff at Friday's event," he said.

Hundreds of people representing local businesses, Metro's partners and its stakeholders, have attended similar roadshows in Bradford, Calderdale Kirklees and Wakefield over the past 12 months.

Anyone who didn't attend a roadshow but would like to find out how their organisation can get support in promoting more sustainable ways of travel, can find further information on the West Yorkshire Travel Plan Network web site.
