Multimodal in rail development: popularity and reaping benefitsAtkins
Dr Ghassan Ziadat, Atkins’ director of planning and infrastructure, looks in depth at transport planning, multimodal transportation and transit oriented developments. Ghassan believes that clear government direction, through policy and legislation, remains essential to ensure the consistent and effective adoption of multimodal transportation and transit orientated developments (TODs) in the Middle East’s major cities.

“The ethics of transport planning” - Prof Stephen Potter talks at the HCDI se...Marco Ajovalasit
This presentation will explore the ethical issues behind what appears to be a technical design process - that of transport planning decisions. It will draw upon the transport/land use designs explored in Britain’s new towns (and Milton Keynes in particular) which help to highlight the ethical decisions involved.
This will illustrate the way that the design of towns and cities affects our travel behaviour and constrains our ability to choose to travel in a socially and environmentally responsible way. Indeed, we can get locked into unsustainable travel behaviours and feel powerless to behave otherwise. This leads to the now prevalent negative attitude towards transport policy initiatives and often outright opposition to sustainable transport developments.
Urban design professionals argue that high density settlements are the main way that sustainable transport choices can be provided, as such designs produce conditions which make for good public, and also suppress car use. However, although such an approach is possible in major conurbations and city centres, this is a difficult and contentious approach for suburban Britain. For most places ‘big city’ design solutions are not politically viable.
Perhaps we should be looking to more innovative approaches. These could blend a variety of new measures, such as the ‘smarter travel’ initiatives as well as new emerging technologies. However these require a different way of doing transport planning to the traditional ‘big infrastructure’ transport policy approaches. New physical design approaches often require the redesign of the processes and structures to implement and manage them, and this may be the key barrier to success.

Increasing highway capacity is not always a solution to the efficient mobility of people and goods as it leads to more traffic both on the new and existing roads
More traffic means more congestion
With current technology, more traffic means more road crashes, more pollution, more energy wasted, more parking congestion and increasing C02 and climate change
More reliance on car use for mobility leads to poor land use planning decisions and urban sprawl
Especially in towns and cities TDM can reduce the need for motorised transport
TDM can create better use of existing transport transport facilities
In some circumstances TDM can be a cost effective alternative to increasing capacity with new costly infrastructure

A beloved escape for Hollywood celebrities, Los Cabos-- at the pointer of the Baja Cape-- embraces a couple of various towns. A dusty angling community until the 1970s, Cabo San Lucas ("Cabo") now rocks with bright beach front clubs, watersports, enjoyable bars and also sportfishing. Tranquil San Jose del Cabo ("San Jose") still demonstrates its colonial history. Its higgledy-piggledy roads attraction with 18th century structures property craft porches and also fine bistros. Between the 2 towns is a 20-mile extent of shoreline, sprinkled with golf links as well as luxurious courses.
Luxury liner anchor in Cabo's gulf overseeing well-liked Medano Seashore. Most people tender to seacoast. Once most people establish base on the port boat trip harbor, you're smack-dab in the center of the activity and just a few mins' stroll to shops. Vendors hawk drinking water tasks along the yacht-filled marina's promenade.
Suggestion: To obtain to Medano Seaside, zip out in a drinking water taxi. Cabs, which are plentiful, are the greatest way to get around Cabo or perhaps to San Jose.
Wanderer
Tie up your tennis shoes-- you're going hiking in a sand dunes haven. A hr's hard drive north of Cabo uses most people to the Gulch of the Fox in the Sierra de la Laguna mountain ranges, a UNESCO biosphere reserve. Observe your manual along a rich riverside trail, shaded by centuries-old cacti and also Mexican fan hands. Keep your eyes peeled for lizards, doves, jewel-like frogs, caterpillars-- even canines. Some boulder scurrying is required. However your reward is actually a dip in a deep-seated crystal clear swimming pool below a 45-foot falls. When it comes to excitement on the ocean, try sportfishing for mighty marlin-- Cabo is nicknamed the "Marlin Capital of the World." Reserve in advance.

The Power of a Glamping Go-To-Market Accelerator Plan.pptx
Stephen Joseph
1. Economics of sustainable travel
Stephen Joseph, Chief Executive
Campaign for Better Transport
ACT Travelwise conference
2. Campaign for Better Transport
• Charitable trust promoting sustainable transport
• Support from wide range of interests
• Co-ordinates environmental and other NGOs
concerned with transport
• Commissions and publishes research
• Conducts public campaigns
• Promotes pilot projects and good practice
ACT Travelwise conference
3. Research on economic impacts
of LSTF - context
• Need to show effectiveness of LSTF measures to DfT/
Treasury, but other audiences:
• Local transport funding, including LSTF capital, now
devolved to Local Enterprise Partnerships
• Councillors and business people need to persuaded
about packages of small measures and behaviour
change, as opposed to big projects
• We have been promoting “smarter choices” for around 20
years but there is still scepticism about them – big
projects don’t face the same tests
ACT Travelwise conference
4. Research origins
• Came from networking meetings of the LSTF
large projects
• These identified a range of impacts from the
projects which might not be captured by
traditional appraisal
• So we asked DfT for sponsorship to explore and
set these out
We found six kinds of economic impacts of LSTF
projects
ACT Travelwise conference
5. 1. Helping employers
- employers’ transport problems can restrict
jobs to those with cars and impact on their
operations
- Long history of travel planning: LSTF has
developed this – business engagement
programmes
ACT Travelwise conference
6. Helping employers: case studies
• Greater Manchester travel choices: 300
businesses, covering 250,000 employees
• Hertfordshire Maylands business park
• South Yorkshire “Inmotion” programme
• Bournemouth cycle challenge – 98 organisations
and 1390 people joined in, 50% of occasional
cyclists became regular and 10% of previous car
users now cyclists
ACT Travelwise conference
7. 2. Helping unemployed into work
Targeted programmes to help unemployed people access
jobs including
• Travel advice
• Journey planning
• Free/discounted public transport tickets
• Subsidised bikes and scooters (“Wheels to Work”)
• Training
Also linked to other measures – Stoke includes advice on
childcare and credit unions too
ACT Travelwise conference
8. 2. Helping unemployed people into
work - examples
• West Midlands Workwise – 12,000 people helped into
work since 2003, 70% still in employment after 6 months,
90% using sustainable transport
• Merseyside’s Travel Solutions Programme: 671 helped
2012-3, 75% still in work after 6 months. Free bikes for
100 NEETs – all still in work or training after 13 weeks
• Nottingham: half price “Kangeroo” card for jobseekers,
32,000 a month by Sept 2013, 17% of card holders found
employment
ACT Travelwise conference
9. 3. Improving public transport
Links to employment:
- Greater Manchester Local Links
- S Yorkshire Job Connector buses
- Bristol coach services
New services to widen labour markets and give
people without cars access to jobs
Cheaper fares: Reading fares cuts
ACT Travelwise conference
10. 3. Improving public transport
Improved services:
- North Somerset “kickstart” project: 21-24%
increase in patronage
- Hertfordshire quality network partnerships
- Surrey park and ride
- New station for James Cook hospital
ACT Travelwise conference
11. 4. Promoting Active Travel
- Greater Manchester Commuter Cycle Project:
- Cycle hubs
- Cycle training
- Business support
- Cycle routes
Nottingham U-Cycle: cycle promotion at
universities, colleges and hospitals – car travel
down by 10%, 44% of staff and students use
non-motorised transport
ACT Travelwise conference
12. 5. Community involvement
- Nottingham Community Smarter Travel
Hubs, with dedicated co-ordinators who
work with local employment agencies to
give travel training, cycle hire etc.
- Surrey “community travel fund” giving
grants to community groups
ACT Travelwise conference
13. 6. Improving the public realm
• Boscombe in SE Dorset, part of “Three
Towns” project: improved pedestrian
precinct and traffic management
• Telford town centre box road, turning one
side into “urban street” 20 mph zone –
attracting £250m regeneration scheme
ACT Travelwise conference
14. Packages: bringing it all together
- SE Dorset “Three towns” programme: wide
range of improvements in the Poole,
Bournemouth and Christchurch corridor
- South Hampshire “My Journey”
programme – 9 corridors in Southampton
and Portsmouth, facilitating developments
creating 30,000 jobs
ACT Travelwise conference
15. Research conclusions
• Emerging evidence suggests that LSTF programmes are
helping the economy in various ways, not all of which fit
into conventional transport appraisal
• Packages of lots of small measures, mutually reinforcing,
can do as much for the economy as big projects
• Packages can attract private sector investment (Arriva in
Watford invested £1m on one route alone) and
partnerships
ACT Travelwise conference
16. Conclusions - continued
• Labour market effects appear to be helpful
• Very targeted transport programmes appear to have high
success rates in getting longer term unemployed into
work, especially if linked to other provision/ services
• These effects generally fall outside conventional transport
appraisal but transport is not given priority in welfare
literature/ programmes either
So we suggested these should be examined further as
potential input to the post election spending review and to
inform LEPs and local authorities.
ACT Travelwise conference
17. But there is a wider context:
investment in major roads…
ACT Travelwise conference
18. .. major cuts in public transport
funding
ACT Travelwise conference
19. And bus and rail getting dearer
•Past trends show motoring and
aviation costs have fallen in real
terms, public transport costs have
increased
•Government policy is still RPI
annual increases for rail fares
•Bus fares increased by a third in
cash terms 2008-13
ACT Travelwise conference
20. Smart growth not dumb
growth…
Economic growth doesn’t mean
more and more roads and cars:
• Vienna: car use has fallen from
40% - 36%, 30% of journeys
are now on foot or bike, 34%
public transport
• Los Angeles: 90% car, 10%
rest
• London: 1993- car 46% public
transport 30%; 2010- car 34%
public transport 42%
ACT Travelwise conference
21. Conclusion
► Transport and planning needs to promote “smart growth”, not
“no growth” or “dumb growth”
► Car dependence is bad for those with cars and those without,
and for the wider economy, environment and society
► Travel behaviour can change and reliance on cars is not
inevitable
► There are examples of business and council initiatives that can
offer good models
► Many technical tools and models are out of date and rely on
past trends continuing
► The challenge is to make transport decisions and funding
support rather than undermine sustainable travel
