To support our members in their work to promote sustainable travel through provision of first-class learning opportunities, partnership working, marketing support and networking events, all with a specific focus on building expertise and experience in travel planning and other cost-effective demand management measures.Our History
ACT TRAVELWISE was formed in 2008 from a merger of The Association for Commuter Transport (ACT) and the National TravelWise Association (NTWA).
