Pfizer's Sandwich site employs over 3,000 people.
Journeys to and from work are a major contribution
to the road traffic in the small town in Kent.
A survey showed that 86% of the employees travelled
to work by car and only 19% shared with another
person.
To support the local community, Pfizer have implemented
a travel plan which has seen the introduction
of improved bus and train services to local
towns. Shuttle buses run frequently from the
site to the town centre and are used by employees
and visitors free of charge. Walking, cycling
and car share are also encouraged to reduce
the impact of the site on the local traffic
levels.
Reducing road journeys means less air pollution
from vehicle exhausts and adds to the air quality
in this rural area of Kent.
