Modeshift Celebrates Excellence in Sustainable Travel Across the UK

Modeshift, a leading organization dedicated to promoting sustainable travel choices, recently held its flagship annual event, the STARS Summit, at the Royal Society in London. This event brought together industry leaders, policymakers, and campaigners to share best practices and innovative solutions aimed at increasing active and sustainable travel across the UK. The summit is a pivotal part of Modeshift’s ongoing mission to enhance travel planning standards and sustainable transport delivery nationwide.

The Significance of Modeshift STARS

Modeshift STARS is a comprehensive platform designed to empower organizations in developing, delivering, and monitoring effective Travel Plans. These plans are crucial for fostering a healthier, greener, and safer travel environment by promoting more sustainable and active modes of transport. The STARS system includes:

Personalized Site/Organization Profiles: Tailored to each setting for effective planning.
Site Audit Tool: Examines the physical infrastructure and policies that support sustainable travel options.
Sustainable Travel Action Plan: Helps organizations set realistic goals for reducing their environmental impact.

Through STARS, thousands of businesses, educational institutions, and community settings across the UK have improved their Travel Plan standards, shared best practices, and earned accreditation for their sustainable travel initiatives[2].

National STARS Travel Awards

The National STARS Travel Awards are a highlight of the Modeshift Summit, recognizing organizations that have made significant strides in promoting sustainable transport choices. The awards cover various categories, including Business, Healthcare, Residential sites, Primary, Secondary, SEND schools, and Early Years Establishments.

In the recent awards, Sewell Group Ltd in Kingston Upon Hull was named the Business Site of the Year for its extensive initiatives in promoting cycling and reducing car use, as well as implementing smarter working practices like flexible working[1][4]. Chew Stoke Church School took home the National Primary School of the Year award for integrating sustainable travel deeply into its curriculum through activities like Odd Socks Walk to School Day and Bike/Scooter Week[1][4].

Key Winners at the 2025 National STARS Travel Awards

Government Support for Sustainable Travel

Government officials also highlighted the importance of sustainable travel during the event. Simon Lightwood MP mentioned the government's significant investment in building new cycle lanes and footways, underscoring the commitment to sustainable transport within the UK's travel industry[1][4]. This investment, almost £300 million to create up to 300 miles of new infrastructure, demonstrates a strong push towards active travel modes like cycling and walking.

Impact of Modeshift Initiatives

Modeshift's initiatives not only enhance sustainable travel options but also contribute to safer and healthier communities. By recognizing the achievements of schools, businesses, and other organizations, the STARS Awards inspire more entities to adopt active travel strategies.

For instance, the use of sustainable modes of transport, like cycling or walking, can significantly reduce carbon emissions and promote community wellness. This is exemplified by the Inpatient Therapies team at Solent NHS Trust, which replaced car travel with bicycles for patient visits, resulting in significant reductions in carbon emissions and costs[3].

Future of Sustainable Travel

As the UK continues to invest in sustainable travel infrastructure and initiatives, organizations like Modeshift play a crucial role in guiding this shift towards more environmentally friendly transport options. The continued recognition and celebration of organizations leading the way in sustainable travel will be pivotal in shaping the future of the travel industry.

Modeshift’s mission to champion active and sustainable travel resonates with policymakers and travelers alike. With events like the STARS Summit, it is clear that the UK is committed to creating healthier and greener travel environments for everyone.
