DaSTS overall aim

“To develop a regional (now local!) smarter choices strategy that will optimise the benefits of carbon savings and value for money, whilst ensuring practical monitoring.”

Carbon abatement - journey distance by trip type

12

Priority spending – carbon abatement Ultimately we must target the factors that

are used to calculate emissions:

Mode Technical and operational efficiency Journey distance Speed Number of trips

13

How to prioritise spending on Smarter Choices

Priority Measures Included

(1) Reducing the number of trips

HomeworkingTele/video conferencingHomeshopping / e-payments

(2) Reducing journey length

Community hubsIntegrated bicycle and rail/busBike rental schemes

(3) Technical and operational efficiency

Plugged-In PlacesDriver trainingFleet managementFiscal policy

(4) Affecting speed and congestion relief

Freight controlPeak user chargingMulti-occupancy lanesAverage speed cameras

(5) Mode switch Cycling facilities upgradesCar clubs / car sharing databaseParking policy

14

Carbon impacts: analysis of schemes Reviewed case studies, evidence and

theoretical framework for measures in relation to:

Total saving of each measure which is based on the percentage saving proportionate to the approximate NI 186 20% saving needed for 2020.

Cost effectiveness – cost of each measure per tonne of CO2 abated.

15

Priority measures – carbon abatement

Policy or measure

Total saving (based on 20% target by 2020) Cost effectiveness Impact Rank

Land use planning decisions Up to 2% Cost neutral High 1

Quality bus partnerships 1-1.5% £30 per tonne abated High 1

Car share matching Up to 1% £10-15 per tonne High 1

Partnership with telecomms providers 0.6%-1% £10 per tonne High 1

Congestion or road user charging 1-1.5% Cost neutral High 1

Workplace Parking Levy 0.80% £20 per tonne Medium 1

Community hubs 1% £5 per tonne High 1

Freight quality partnerships Up to 2% £35 per tonne High 1

River freight transport 0.2-0.3% £5-10 per tonne Medium 1

Introduction/increase of CPZs and parking charges 1-1.5% £20 per tonne High 1

Emissions based charging across workplaces and Council car parks 2-2.5% £20 per tonne High 1

Driver training 0.20% £20 per tonne High 1

16

Evaluation (1) Best returns on investment in parking,

freight, technology and planning policy. Cycling and walking and bus measures will

generally score poorly as they are targeting short trips

Largest gains will be made to middle distance commute, business travel, leisure and shopping i.e. especially between 5 and 25 miles.

BUT NEED TO CONSIDER WIDER SOCIO-ECONOMIC IMPACTS

17

Wider Council impacts

Evaluation (2) Cycling and walking score highest when

looking at the wider local authority objectives

Land use planning decisions, integrated community initiatives and PTP also score highly

Parking measures and fiscal measures more controversial

19

What does this all mean?

Informed local decisions on policy Balanced view of priorities Less reliance on PPG13 Focus resources Re-skilling of transport and land use

25

New LSTP

Develop packages of measures that support economic growth and reduce carbon in their communities as well as delivering cleaner environments, improved safety and increased levels of physical activity.  

26

Proposed schemes Encouraging walking and cycling Initiatives to improve integration between

travel modes and end-to-end journey experiences

Better public transport Improved traffic management schemes.

27

Possible ideas Integrated rail and

cycle Fare free zones Bus for bikes School car share

linked to infrastructure Small EVs for leisure
