Mae prosiect Teithio Byw yn ysbyty Singleton wedi datblygu cynllun teithio ac mae'n annog teithio byw i'r gwaith gan staff.
Mae Ysbyty Singleton yn safle mawr sy'n dioddef gan dagfeydd traffig, problemau parcio a mynediad gwael ar gyfer staff, ymwelwyr a chleifion. Mae Ymddiriedolaeth GIG Abertawe wedi cyflogi Cydgysylltydd Cynllun Teithio dynodedig i ddatblygu cynllun teithio a hyrwyddo teithio byw.
Cynhaliodd Ymddiriedolaeth GIG Abertawe arolwg ymddygiad staff i ddarganfod sut y bydd pobl yn cymudo yn ôl a blaen i safle'r ysbyty, ac yna defnyddio codau post cartrefi i ganfod llwybrau amgen sydd ar gael i gymudwyr, drwy gludiant cyhoeddus neu hygyrchedd i'r Rhwydwaith Beicio Cenedlaethol.
O ganlyniad i'r arolwg teithio mae'r Ymddiriedolaeth yn:
- creu cymhellion i geisio newid ymddygiad teithio cymudwyr, yn cynnwys bloc cawodydd newydd, ystafelloedd sychu, cronfa feiciau, loceri newydd, mannau storio beiciau diogel a
- datblygu ymgyrch wybodaeth wedi ei thargedu i annog staff i roi cynnig ar y dewisiadau.

An Active Travel project at Singleton hospital in Swansea has developed a travel plan and is encouraging active travel to work by staff.
Singleton Hospital is a large site that suffers from transport congestion, parking problems and poor access for staff, visitors and patients. Swansea NHS Trust has employed a dedicated Travel Plan Coordinator to develop a travel plan and encourage active travel.
Swansea NHS Trust conducted a staff behaviour survey to find out how people commuted to and from the hospital site, then used home postcodes to identify alternative routes available to commuters, by public transport or the accessibility of the National Cycle Network.
As a result of the travel survey the Trust is:
- creating incentives to try to change commuter travel behaviour, including a new shower block, drying rooms, pool bikes, new lockers, secure bike storage and
- developing a targeted information campaign to encourage staff to try out the alternatives.
”By working in partnership with Sustrans, Sports Council Wales, Swansea City Council and the National Public Health Service, Swansea NHS Trust wants this project to contribute to our achievement of the gold Corporate Health Standard† in 2008.” Rhodri Davies, Travel Plan Coordinator, Swansea NHS Trust
The project is funded by Sports Council Wales' Active Communities Fund.
The Active Travel project at Singleton Hospital was named 'best walking and cycling project' at the Wales National Transport Awards.
