Northern Transport Summit: Jonathan Spruce, Transport for the NorthPlace North West
Jonathan Spruce, head of policy and strategy at Transport for the North, gives insight into the strategic development corridors that make up a key element of TfN's plans
This document discusses Auckland's current transport modes and plans to improve the transport system. It notes that most trips currently are by car but that there are efforts to increase public transport and active modes. A joint agency plan aims to improve travel time delays and predictability as well as shift modes to public transport. The plan involves growing cycling and rapid transit networks, extending strategic roads, and optimizing the existing network. Over $5.7 billion will be invested in Auckland's transport system from 2015-2018 through funding from the National Land Transport Programme and Auckland Council's Long Term Plan.
Councils in the West of England Council want people's views on future plans for new homes and transport. This presentation by David Turner at the Bristol Planning and Law Conference provides an overview.
Jill Poyton presented on the Great Western Electrification project. She discussed who decides rail strategy, the difference between renewals and enhancements, and the benefits of electrification like faster journeys and environmental benefits. However, challenges include the project's large size and cost. Key priorities now focus on capacity improvements and passenger benefits that can be delivered in the next two years, rather than fully funding assets. While full electrification is deferred, commitments remain to improve capacity and introduce new trains to realize many passenger benefits.

The future direction of transport for wa by reece waldockEngineers Australia
The document discusses the future direction of transport in Western Australia. It outlines the economic and population growth challenges putting pressure on the state's transport systems. It proposes integrating transport planning and decision making across the transport portfolio to develop a coordinated strategic plan. This would improve infrastructure priorities, project delivery, and make the state more competitive for commonwealth funding. A new organisational structure is proposed to provide clear strategic direction and ensure all agencies work towards shared transport vision.
Cheshire Development Update: Robin Miller-Stott - Transport for the NorthPlace North West
This document outlines a strategic transport plan for the North of England with the goals of transforming the region's economic performance, improving opportunities, and promoting a sustainable built and natural environment. The plan proposes strategic development corridors and investments like Northern Powerhouse Rail, integrated smart travel, and road improvements to connect cities.

The goals were to better understand challenges of integrated transportation, raise awareness, and improve efficiency and service standards. Key themes from funded projects included improved integration with public/health services, enhanced community transportation partnerships, and new technologies. Nottinghamshire's project focused on rural areas, targeting improved access to health, education, employment while reducing isolation. Outcomes may include shared resources, easier booking systems, and expanded rural access.
This document discusses the evolution of transport appraisal in the UK from the 1960s to present. Early appraisal focused on road projects and considered travel time savings. Methods expanded to include public transport, rail, aviation and environmental impacts. Opposition to large road projects grew in the 1970s-80s. Recent developments include the introduction of the NATA/Appraisal Summary Table to integrate policies, consideration of wider economic benefits, and challenges around devolution, targets vs cost-benefit analysis, and estimating reliability.

The plan aims to achieve healthy, safe, and connected communities and a strong economy. It received widespread community support during public consultation.
Policy frameworks can play an important role in leveraging mineral infrastructure for broader regional development in sub-Saharan Africa. Regulations are key but must be transparent, predictable, and flexible. They should be implemented where they exist and strengthened or adapted where needed. Alternatives to regulations like incentives and sequencing are also important. Overall, policy frameworks work best when they ensure coherence across countries and sectors through collaborative multi-stakeholder partnerships.

In this edition the focus is Sustainable Urban Mobility. Our region has several good examples of how we can reduce the use of fossil fuels within sustainable urban mobility systems and create liveable cities. The Bulletin both provides examples of technical solutions and innovative campaigns from the UBC member-cities as well as displaying several externally co-funded mobility projects that covers a series of cities around the Baltic Sea Region.
In the editorial Mr Siim Kallas, EU Commissioner on transport and vice president for the EU Commission, stresses the importance of acknowledging also the economic benefits of developing sustainable urban mobility systems. He further on emphasise the necessity to stimulate markets that foster sustainable mobility supplies and the unpredictable future of fossil fuel as the dominant source for our vehicle fleets.
This document provides background information on road infrastructure in Sri Lanka and the role of the Road Development Authority (RDA). It specifically discusses a conflict-affected area rehabilitation project (CAARP) funded by the Asian Development Bank to rehabilitate 240km of national highways. The project faced risks and delays resulting in cost overruns.

The document compares and contrasts transport policymaking institutions and processes between the UK and India. In the UK, transport policy is centralized under the Department for Transport, while in India it is spread across six central ministries. Transport projects in the UK are mainly financed centrally, while in India they require coordination between central and state governments. There are also more institutions that can influence transport policy in India compared to the UK.

The RIBA detailed design stage provides an opportunity to fully specify all accessibility aspects.
The document discusses trends affecting the future of retail and viability of high streets. It notes that since the 1970s, retail spending on high streets has declined 25% by 2000 due to a shift to large retailers and out-of-town shopping. Store closures have increased significantly since 2018. Only 40% of UK retail space is optimally used. Footfall on high streets has declined 20.5% from 2010 to 2019. Online retail sales now account for over 30% in the UK and over 10% in other European countries. Factors that influence high street vitality include retail offer, experience, appearance, place management, and adaptability. Location has more control over some factors like networks and partnerships than others like innovation
