University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust
Overview
University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust approached Liftango to understand more about their staff commutes to help them devise solutions that would make their staff commutes easier and greener.
Solution
Liftango, together with partners Commutifi, are undertaking an employee transport opportunity analysis for over 20,000 staff across the trust, starting with the Good Hope Hospital in Birmingham. The analysis will use staff commute data alongside public transport network data to identify gaps in the current transport network i.e. which staff have the hardest time getting to work, at what times of day, why etc.
Outcomes
The analysis will identify several high-potential service models for consideration by the NHS designed to help hospital staff better access the site and work towards providing more sustainable/shared transport options for staff.
Whilst the analysis is currently being undertaken, examples of possible solutions that might be relevant for the NHS to consider include:
- Fixed route and/or dedicated shuttle services
- On Demand bus services (direct and/or as connectors to existing network services)
- Carpool software
- Modes of Active Transport
