Effortless Connections
1 NEW PARK SQUARE

Unrivalled Transport Connectivity
The travel choices made by your talent have farreaching effects on their health, wellbeing and productivity and can have a huge impact on their individual carbon emissions. Put these altogether and it has an impact on your ability to meet your ESG targets, and to recruit and retain talent in your workplace. In recognition of this, Edinburgh Park has been designed with the sustainable movement of people in mind and this is central to 1 New Park Square being a great place to work and visit with happy, content staff.
Edinburgh Park’s carefully crafted public realm will encourage people to walk and cycle around the site, and other key Edinburgh destinations can be easily reached using the city’s extensive pedestrian, cycling and public transport options. Edinburgh Park also offers convenient access to high-quality, frequent bus, tram and rail services, with Scotland’s motorway network and Edinburgh Airport close at hand.
It is crucial for businesses to consider how mobility and access influence their ability to recruit and retain the best employees. Difficult journeys to work can limit the availability of new talent and cause frustrated commuters to consider other employment options. Poor connectivity can also lead businesses to become overly reliant on less sustainable forms of transport, thereby making the journey to net-zero emissions even more challenging.
The solutions offered by Edinburgh Park include:
Excellent access to and for Scotland’s talent pool
Unrivalled transport options and connectivity for commuters, visitors and business travellers
A unique, sought-after mix of sustainable, low carbon travel choices
Easy access to a wealth of on-site and nearby amenities
Flexible travel options to accommodate potential transport disruption, including those caused by COVID
Great access for pedestrians and cyclists
High-frequency public transport services that give travellers confidence and so reduce stress
Substantial capacity across different transport modes to accommodate business growth
An active management team which will ensure Edinburgh Park leads the way with new initiatives designed to facilitate commuter and business travel and will help ‘future-proof’ the park

The Future of Mobility
Of course, the journey doesn’t stop here. The future of mobility starts today, and we aim to continue setting the standard for excellence.
The future is better. The global pandemic has had a massive impact on many aspects of life, including if, how, when and why we travel. In recovering from the pandemic there will be new opportunities to ‘build back better’ by reshaping our transport systems and shifting to more resilient, efficient, sustainable and equitable mobility.
The future is smart. Digital technology and data have the power to transform how and why we travel. The Edinburgh Park app will draw on this smart revolution to deliver essential transport information to the Edinburgh Park community.
The future is efficient. The availability of hundreds of new, appealing homes at Edinburgh Park and in the surrounding area will create new opportunities for employees to live close to where they work, thereby cutting time spent commuting.
The future is flexible. There is evidence to suggest fewer millennials, and their younger Gen Z counterparts, aspire to own or use cars than their baby-boomer parents, instead showing a preference for multimodal transport, urban life, and emerging technologies. Edinburgh Park already offers travellers a diverse and
interconnected array of transport choices that help to future-proof the site and provide unrivalled flexibility and choice and excellent access.
The future is shared. On-street bike hire, car club vehicles, 2+ ride-sharing and shared taxis will help make travel more sustainable, sociable, fun and affordable.
The future is electric. Car parking spaces across Edinburgh Park have been designed with the need to charge electric cars in mind, and e-bikes will be welcomed.
The future is autonomous. In a groundbreaking autonomous vehicle trial, plans are in place for five full-sized autonomous buses to deliver scheduled services over a 30 mile route between Fife and Edinburgh Park.
The future is unfolding. With an eye to the future, we will continue to monitor and evaluate how emerging forms of technology and transport, such as “on demand” buses, e-scooter sharing, and ‘Mobility as a Service’ could benefit the Edinburgh Park community.

Help is at hand
Moving to Edinburgh Park is a significant step that brings with it a new set of opportunities and challenges. We are here to help your organisation make the most of Edinburgh Park’s excellent, multi-modal transport connectivity. As part of our welcome to your new corporate home at 1 New Park Square, we can work with you to help:
Make the relocation process as seamless and pain-free as possible.
Reduce the costs and carbon emissions associated with your business travel policies and practices.
Maintain and improve corporate performance in these areas over time.
We are on-hand to provide general mobility advice, as well as more focussed support, including:
Relocation Insights: Containing evidencebased guidance and advice about the impact of the relocation on employee commuter travel patterns and choices. For example, we can compare current commute travel times to an existing site with travel times to Edinburgh Park. Alternatively, in cases where new staff will be recruited, we can do bespoke analysis that shows how many people from certain social demographic profiles live within a commutable distance of Edinburgh Park.
Personalised Travel Advice: Offering tailored travel advice, information and journey planning services to individual employees, to help them understand and make the most of their travel choices. Advice can be tailored to promote low carbon travel choices, where it makes sense to do so, and to inform car drivers about efficient and effective way for them to reduce their carbon footprint.
28
Travel Plans: Containing carefully researched recommendations on how your organisation can promote and support sustainable commuter travel patterns into the future. For instance, this could include introducing a Cycle to Work Scheme, raising awareness about car parking policy or ensuring staff are aware of different public transport ticketing options.
Car-Park Management Plans: Helping ensure car park access and utilisation is optimised. Typically, this would involve developing a needs-based parking policy, whereby people with the greatest need for a parking space are prioritised.
Advice about 2+ Ride-Sharing: Informing decisions on how and when to encourage employees to share their commuter journeys with others, to help cut the cost and environmental impact of travel and reduce demand for car parking spaces.
Business Travel Strategies: Incorporating advice on how to reduce the cost and environmental impacts associated with travel for work. This would typically involve work to help your organisation measure the cost and carbon emissions from business travel and then develop a robust management plan, designed to reduce these impacts.
Car Club Advice: Exploring if / how your organisation could benefit from access to a fleet of low-carbon car club vehicles, for use on business trips.
Employee Engagement: Engaging employees in training, events and campaigns designed to support and promote active and sustainable travel choices.
