This document discusses developing a state plan for sustainable transport in Victoria. It outlines high-level sustainability goals of economic competitiveness, social inclusion, environmental protection, and public engagement. Critical land transport issues are identified as economic productivity, congestion, climate change, and others. The document then examines Victoria's transport greenhouse gas emissions and options to reduce them. It argues for a long-term, integrated strategic focus on land use and transport to achieve sustainability goals.

NFTA Metro Route Restructuring
Presented by: James Morrell, Manager, Service Planning, NFTA
Hal Morse, Executive Director, Greater Buffalo-Niagara Region Transportation Council
The Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority (NFTA) implemented a major route restructuring
initiative on October 31, 2010; a plan which required extensive organizational planning and community participation. The restructuring included adjusting service levels to make the entire system more efficient and increase passenger revenues. Buses now run more frequently over the heaviest used routes, and less frequently over lesser-used portions. This presentation will outline the steps needed to restructure service to be more efficient and cost effective.

transit oriented development benefits
In today’s world with the ever increasing traffic it is inherent that we immediately find an optimum solution for it so that we can move on from being a developing nation to a super power.
There is a great need to resolve our transportation issues at the earliest as connectivity is of grave importance. Finding a systematic and organized way around the current situation is only going to benefit us in the long run. Better connectivity reduces transportation costs immensely and saves time in traveling.
Transportation planning is an integral part of overall urban planning and needs systematic approach.
Travel demand estimation is an important part of comprehensive transportation planning process.
However, planning does not end by predicting travel demand.
The ultimate aim of urban transport planning is to generate alternatives for improving transportation system to meet future demand and selecting the best alternative after proper evaluation.
This is the transportation planning module I developed for the Suncoast Section of the Florida APA's AICP prep course. I deliver it each March to help new professionals prepare for the exam.
Hear from technical experts and state and regional leaders on the frontlines of developing policies, implementation strategies, financial tools and governance systems to meet the climate challenges of the 21st century. Groundbreaking federal and state policies demand an aggressive reduction of carbon and ozone emissions. Meeting these goals calls for a range of strategies from the transportation, building, energy, business and agriculture sectors. Learn about the short- and longer-term strategies to make our regions and communities healthier and more resilient, including the integration of transportation and land use planning as outlined in California’s SB 375. A timely conversation leading up to the UN climate talks in Paris this December.

Sustainable Transport Seminar - John Stanley, The University of Sydney
1. Sustainable transport in Victoria: developing,
financing and implementing a state plan
Institute of Transport and Logistics Studies | Faculty of Economics and Business
Adjunct Professor John Stanley
2. High level generic sustainability goals
› Outcomes
- Economic competitiveness (e.g. support agglomeration
economies, manage congestion)
- Social inclusion (support capabilities)
- Ecological footprint (part of a process of recognizing future
generations and rights of other species)
- Process
- Giving people a genuine say in matters that impact them (up
the top end of the engagement ladder, not tokenism)
- Sustainable transport
- Is transport that makes the most cost-effective contribution to
these social goals
2
3. Critical land transport issues
›Economic productivity
›Congestion
›Climate change
›Social exclusion
›Energy security/peak oil
›Road safety
›Obesity

Emissions (Mt CO2e)
Reduce truck emissions intensity
by 25%
Reduce freight transport energy
demand by 20%
Reduce car emissions intensity
by 23%
Increase urban car occupancy
from 1.4 to 1.5
Increase urban public transport
mode share from 9% to 20%
Shift 5% of urban car trips to
walking/cycling
Reduce urban travel by 5%
6. How are we going on GHG?
› Stabilised, helped by declining
per capita car use in our cities
› PT mode share increasing well in
Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth
› But result is well short of
requirements
› And our transport plans do not
target cutting GHG emissions
› Conclusion: neither the previous
nor current national or Victorian
Governments have been
seriously interested in cutting
land transport GHG emissions

7. Sustainable transport: based on MPS
experience
› Bipartisan support vital but difficult in our highly
politicized environment
› The high level sustainability goals mean you must
start with land use
- With a vision of the kind of region (or city) you want
› Use transport infrastructure and services to help get
you there
› This needs an integrated, long term strategic focus
(25-40 years)
- Which is pursued over the long term, like in Vancouver
› Linked to short to medium term funded
implementation plans (5-10 years)
- Draft PlanMelbourne has missed this vital linkage
- Vancouver does it well
7
9. Particularize your high level goals with spice, for
regional distinctiveness: e.g. Melbourne
› What we want to achieve (valued
outcomes)
- Principle 1: A distinctive Melbourne
- Principle 2: A globally connected and
competitive city
- Principle 3: Social and economic participation
- Principle 4: Strong communities
- Principle 5: Environmental resilience
9
10. Set land use directions first, to support these
outcomes/goals (Melbourne example)
More compact city (e.g. Hard urban boundary)
Slow growth on fringe and encourage more growth in
middle suburbs (inc. Precinct scale urban renewal
Focus on Transit Oriented development
Promoting agglomeration economies in the central city
and in a small number of selected urban nodes
Improving accessibility for outer urban residents
Strengthening Melbourne’s and Victoria’s competitive
advantages in freight and logistics, tourism and in trade-
exposed business
Support strong communities/neighbourhoods
Improving the integration between city and regions
Better managing growth in the peri urban area
Most of these directions will scale down to the larger
regional centres
10
11. Generic urban land transport policy
directions for sustainability
Encourage efficient settlement patterns
Land use/transport integration to support a polycentric/more compact city and reduce sprawl
Reduce the demand for travel (trip lengths rather than trips)
Land use planning (density, co-location)
Maximise walking and cycling
Mode shift to low carbon modes
Cars > Public transport, walking and cycling
Trucks > Rail
Improve vehicle utilisation
Higher car occupancy
More efficient freight movements
Improve mobility options for transport disadvantaged people
Minimum PT service levels
More compact city
Reduce vehicle emissions intensity
More efficient vehicles (the largest single contributor – mandatory fuel economy standards required)
Smaller vehicles
Alternative fuels (problematic at present)
Intelligent transport systems
Better driving practices
11
12. Place-based transport directions
(some Melbourne examples)
› Centre/inner core
- PT capacity, walk, cycle
› Middle suburbs
- Circumferential movement, esp. serving nodes/clusters
- Means good arterial road capacity, SmartBus networks,
freight corridors, NE link
› Outer areas
- Overcome backlogs
- Connect to jobs-rich areas
› Everywhere = support local accessibility for strong
neighbourhoods
- Weak in MPS
12
14. Regional issues
› Support land use directions, e.g.
- Access to jobs, education, services, friends, recreational and
cultural opportunities and the like
- Similar need for corridor/nodal approach (connect to Melbourne,
regional centres, town centres, etc)
- Support regional/local resource/tourism/other business
opportunities
› Larger focus on social inclusion and local public
transport
- Need for new delivery models
• Such as the Warrnambool social enterprise model we have helped
establish

16. State plan development
› We need long term strategies linked to short to medium term
implementation plans
› Intergovernmental agreements required up front to set out
process and obligations
› Local government at regional level an equal partner with the
state (MPA a poor model here)
› Canberra must be engaged
› Multi-stakeholder Regional Advisory Committees to produce
Draft Plans with options, with State support (like UK LEPs)
› Draft plans debated and final regional plans prepared by RACs
› State level process for resolving conflicts and maximising value
for the State
› Keep the politicians and their advisers at arm’s length until
decision time, to increase chance of bipartisanship
16
17. Key challenges
› Power sharing between levels of government
› Empowering the community to get involved
› Establishing and empowering Regional Advisory
Committees
› Being prepared to commit to 5-10 year implementation
plans
› Taking tough decisions on funding, esp. road pricing reform
› Undertaking a genuinely integrated study
› Keeping the politicians at arm’s length until decision time
› Vancouver is a good model
- Metro Vancouver (GVRD) and Translink
