What is the Leicestershire Business Programme? 

Leicestershire County Council’s Choose How You Move team are working with local businesses to support staff travel choices. We want to show employees the different ways they can make their commute to work, whether this be by car, lift sharing, public transport, or walking and cycling and provide practical support to make changes easier.
