The Good News …
Walking, cycling and river transport:
• Over 4000 new Barclays Cycle Hire docking points, many in East London, 2300 more bikes
• Improvements to walking and cycling routes to the Olympic Park and across the Capital
• River services cannot move large volumes of people but will be an option for certain venues, so TfL has expanded Tower Pier and improved Greenwich pier

There are also options for companies to use Concentra’s own staff surveying capability, which lets you analyse impact team by team and department by department.
