1.3 Governance infrastructure for transport and mobility in your country

Legislation concerning local government in England is decided by the UK parliament. England is split into 9 Government Office REGIONS (same as the regions for EU elections). Greater London is one such region and has a directly elected assembly and mayor.

Below region level, London consists for 32 boroughs or municipalities, whereas the other English regions has a mixture of country councils, district councils or unitary authorities in which councillors are directly elected, at the even smaller ward level.

Much legislation concerning Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland is decided by their devolved parliament / assemblies.

Policy making * Policy delivery * Financing * National

3 main ministries: - Department for Transport (DfT) Sustainable Travel Unit (eg Cycling, Smarter Travel), - Department for Business Innovation and Skills (BIS) (eg development of electric vehicle market) - Department for Energy and Climate Change (DECC) (eg Act on

Ministries oversee policy delivery giving guidance to local and regional authorities who are responsible for Implementation

Due to several ministries having overlapping areas of responsibility in MM, funding comes from numerous areas. For example: The Highways Agency is responsible for the construction of road infrastructure.

Co2 campaign – advice on how individuals and businesses can reduce Co2 eg eco driving, low emission vehicles) 2 fringe Ministries - Department for Health (eg Active Travel – health advice) - Department for the Environmental & Rural Affairs (eg behavioural change: Segmentation Model The role of these Ministries (central administration) is to decide on policies and supervise them. Now there is new law in the UK: the Climate Change Act: legally binding 80% reduction UK Co2 by 2050. Therefore all these departments have an interest in developing supporting policies to reduce transport emissions.

DfT has provided grants for UK cities to develop Electric Vehicle markets – through demonstration projects, also the car scrappage scheme, and subsidised EVs by £2,000 approx Department for Business Innovation and Skills have provided loans to EV industries to develop EVs

Regional

In London, one of the 9 regions in England, the Mayor set out his London Transport Strategy, London Plan and London Economic Development Strategy in October 2009, following much consultation. These contain the priority themes which the 33 local authorities (boroughs) should adhere to. The 3 strategic documents are interlinked and have been launched at the same time to maximise cross fertilisation. They also all have low carbon priorities. Other regions are do not have such an integrated approach due to no regional assembly / Mayor. They do have regional development agencies though. In London, Transport for London manages buses, tubes and some of the overland rail network. TfL has a large SMARTER TRAVEL unit which funds the introduction of workplace travel plans, smarter travel towns (PTPs, STPs, WTPs), cycling events and pan London awareness raising such as on road safety.

The Mayor oversees the implementation of The Transport Strategy (via Transport for London), the London Plan and The London Economic Development Strategy (via the London Development Agency)

Transport for London provides the funding for London local authorities to implement the Transport Strategy although boroughs have certain degree of flexibility in how they spend their money.

priorities and have a degree of autonomy over their regional and national legislatures. For example in London a centrally located council might be willing to invest more in mobility management, than an outer borough (with less public transport options) The Local Transport Act 2008 allows local authorities to take appropriate steps to meet local transport needs in the light of local circumstances – EG buses. But this relates more to the 8 non-London regions.

from Transport for London but local authorities also raise revenue through local council tax.

2 Governance of Mobility management

2.1 Does the definition of MM as endorsed by EPOMM * reflect how MM is defined in your country? If not, what are major differences?

The term Mobility Management is not the most common terminology in the UK, though it is understood by

many transport practioners. Mobility in the UK is more commonly used to describe the ability of people – often

the elderly – to walk or move from A to B, rather than related to transport.

“Smarter Choices” or “Smarter Travel” is the term used by Department for Transport and Transport for

London (in which Active Travel forms a part). Sustainable Transport is possibly the most well known term in

both practioner and public level.

However, ignoring the terminology differences, the definition of Mobility Management as per MAX matches

very well that of Smarter Choices / Travel.

2.2 Short history of Mobility Management (20 lines max)

Mobility Management first became a significant movement in the mid 1990s with the starting up ACT and

Travelwise, both being MM networks including local authorities, large businesses and consultancies supported

by Department for Transport . Department for Health is also linking its obesity targets with Active Travel.

The growth of these networks from 5 members to 400 (300 of which paying subscriptions).

At the national level MM is now very important with central government with funding and policies spanning 3

governmental departments, supporting new green technologies, behavioural change, etc. The Parliamentary

Committee on Climate Change was set up in 2008 to oversee the progress made by all stakeholders in the UK

in reducing co2 by 80% by 2050 is strong evidence of governmental commitment.

At the regional level, the example of London has proven the biggest support of all to Mobility Management

with existing and new funding and policies including the congestion charge (new charge increase to £10 per

day), Shared Space, Cycling Superhighways, walking schemes, travel awareness, electric vehicles delivery

plan, Smarter Travel Towns – Sutton and Richmond (£2 million each for concentrated and joined up MM

actions) and the iTRACE software which monitors the effectiveness of all workplace and school travel plans in

London. Recent evidence shows a 13% decrease in car use due to TfL’s Enterprise and Corporate A NEW

WAY TO WORK support packages to businesses. The next step is to develop Transport Management

Associations – area based travel plan networks. The more evidence that has become available – and the

more climate change is being believed – the more MM has pushed up the agenda, nationally and regionally.

The existence of LEPT is evidence of this.

Today there are many national MM charities / pressure groups such as Sustrans, Cycling England, Walk

England, Living Streets.

2.3 What are the major strategies for promoting and implementing MM at

different governance levels in your country *?

Policies * Action programmes

* Legislative measures

(incl. taxes)* Promotion & awareness*

National Under the Climate Change Act, the Government has set five-yearly carbon budgets for the UK economy out to 2022.

DfT: Low Carbon Transport: A Greener Future 2009 BIS: Low Carbon Industrial Strategy (consultation closed) Develop clean industries such as Electric Vehicles DECC: Low Carbon Transition Plan 2009 (reducing average emissions of cars by 40%)

There is also a law The Climate Change Act 2008: Target of 80% reduction of Co2 by 2050. Progress on this is overseen by a Cross Party Parliamentary Committee (“Climate Change Committee”)

ACT On Co2 – campaign and website giving advice on purchasing low carbon vehicles 10:10 campaign has recruited business, government and individuals to commit to reducing their c02 emissions by 10% by the end of 2010% all senior politicians have signed up

Regional

The Mayor launched in October 2009 3 integrated plans, all of which set out priorities for low carbon development - London Transport Strategy - London Plan -London Economic Development Strategy Electric Vehicles Delivery Plan

London Congestion Charge (only one in the UK) London Freedom pass (free buses for over 60s) London Free buses for under 16s (Less school trip miles)

European Mobility Week sees Central London closed to traffic on one Sunday – bikes only

Local Each of the London Boroughs has a Local Delivery Plan for their transport activities. These are agreed with Transport for London. The level of MM included in these LIPs varies considerably (rural boroughs less, urban boroughs more)

The LIP also constitutes the Action Plan for delivery Dft has funded 3 Sustainable Transport Towns in the UK – (Peter borough, Worcester, Peterborough delivering a sustainable and joined up programme of Smarter Travel measures, funding £2m p.a. across the 3

In London 2 boroughs have been chosen to be Smarter Travel Towns: Sutton saw investment of £5million over 3 years; Richmond has just begun its programme with £4million to spend (includes personalised travel plans, School travel plans, workplace travel plans, travel awareness, events etc.

Nottingham employers. Parking spaces liable for a levy would be those employers provide for their staff or certain types of business visitors.

On each liable parking space the levy would be in the region of £185 per year starting in 2010 and rising to around £350 at the opening of NET Phase Two, with increases linked to inflation in future years.

A Workplace Parking Levy for Nottingham would mean that employers may encourage and support their staff to look at alternative ways to travel to and from work, such as by car sharing, using the bus, tram, Park & Ride or by walking or cycling which would help reduce congestion.

Nottingham City Council claim they and the Nottingham public must be bold in our next transport steps and lead the way nationally to tackle issues of transport congestion, pollution and the environment by making a contribution to the cost of transport improvements ourselves.

All the money raised from a Workplace Parking Levy would be invested back into funding more and better public transport in Nottingham, which would reduce congestion.

of 22

2.4 Are there any policies or legislative measures that (indirectly) counteract

the promotion of MM*?

The Government (DfT) uses the NEW APPROACH TO APPRAISAL (NATA) to assess transport schemes

value for money. NATA has caused problems for Mobility Management projects as it has inbuilt biases against

behavioural change schemes to reduce car use. This is because NATA records the impact of a transport

scheme on the government revenue, and since reducing car use will reduce the amount of petrol consumed

and hence tax paid, such schemes are penalized // even reduce VAT from car purchases! This runs counter to

DfT’s own Low Carbon Future Strategy.

Also NATA gives greate weigtht to journey time then calculate over 60 years period. This means that if a car

journey was 10 seconds quicker – the appraisal will record it as much more beneficial than a cycling trip of

virtually the same journey time!

Environmental impacts such as noise and Co2 are given money values which are traded off against time

savings.

Some changes are now being made: to include the health benefits of walking and cycling – such schemes will

get a better value for money rating now.

The government is proposing to produce a simpler and cheaper appraisal system for smaller projects and

smarter choices.

LBB Travel Plan - see ASTUTE website 2007-8 £45,000

Many measures were implemented to reduce car use:

1) Staff travel survey conducted: 54% response rate. 2) Travel Plan drafted which analysed the travel survey results and made recommendations for action and modal shift targets

3) Following new facilities Bike Pool 9 robust bikes; New Shower room to accompany existing one as big queues in summer Tumble driers and ironing board; 35 clothes lockers; 14 more bike stands; Staff Liftshare scheme Extra pool car 4) New Travel Plan site on the Intranet: Central resource of information on the facilities as well as news and competitions and directions to the showers and bike stands. Includes a bikers blog allowing staff to record their experiences on the bike

5) Competitions and prizes: 50:50 bike challenge – council politician took part Walk to work challenge (4 weeks log the journeys to and from work made by foot)

of 22

EVALUATION In 15 months we achieved a substantial modal shift from car use to sustainable modes. The follow up staff travel survey in 2008 showed the following shift. The survey was compatible with TfL’s iTRACE travel plan monitoring system and is a good model for wider stakeholder usage.

Walking increased from 9.5% modal share to 12.4% Cycling increased from 1.5% modal share to 3.8% Overall Car journeys decreased from 69% to 60.8% The combination of the above factors therefore had a dramatic effect with a calculation of 61 tonnes of Co2 p.a. saved

2 Field Awareness Campaigns

Is this example already available in the ELTIS/EPOMM format? (Y)

London Borough of Sutton – Smarter Travel Towns Since 2006, the Council has been delivering a £5million behaviour change programme called Smarter Travel Sutton, which sought to reduce resident car trips by between 5% and 10% by September 2009. As of September 2008 this had reached a 2% reduction but also saw an increase in the number of people cycling by 50% since 2007. This pilot social marketing campaign is the largest and most ambitious campaign undertaken in Europe to date and involved directly contacting every household in the Borough as part of the Personal travel Planning project. All schools have a School Travel Plan and over 100 businesses have a Workplace Travel Plan. As part of the management of the programme, a Stakeholder board was established. This board invited members of the community representing different organisations and sectors such as the Metropolitan Police, Sutton & Merton NHS Primary Care Trust, Ecolocal (a local environmental charity), Sutton Volunteer Centre, Disability representatives, Chamber of Commerce, Race Equality Council and political representatives. The whole programme has involved the regular flow of information and advice to the public but also many events and activities where people can provide feedback and ask questions. A key element of the programme is the use of personal travel plan advisers who engage the public in the streets, at their houses and at schools and workplaces, offering information and advice and discussing individual travel habits. The monitoring and evaluation uses both quantitative and qualitative methods. Quantitative methods include a series of Automatic Traffic Counters across the Borough to monitor traffic flows for a variety of modes at key points. This data is monitored 24 hours per day, 7 days per week. There is also a network of Automatic Cycle Counters which specifically monitor cycling levels. Bus patronage data is also collected for key bus services All of this data is then compared to a control area in the neighbouring Borough of Croydon. For the qualitative data an annual telephone survey of 1,500 households is undertaken with a further 500 surveys in the control area. The survey asks a number of questions relating to attitudes to travel and behaviour. Additional surveys are carried out at events and activities.

3 Field: MM public administration

Is this example already available in the ELTIS/EPOMM format ? (N)

Cycling City York A recent survey has showed that the number of people cycling in York has risen by an impressive seven per cent during the past year. Cycling City York is a community-led partnership project that will see £3.68 million in government funding used to improve and develop facilities for cyclists, and get more people cycling, between now and 2011. Partners include City of York Council, North Yorkshire and York Primary Care Trust, major employers, education establishments, cycle campaign groups and cycle retailer • York is one of 12 locations in the UK to have been awarded Cycling Town or City status in 2008 and fought off competition from 74 other local authorities to win government funding. York joins the existing six Cycling 'demonstration towns', which also include Darlington and Derby. One of Cycling City York's key aims is to increase the number of people cycling by 25 per cent between now and 2011 http://www.acttravelwise.org/news/1400

3.3 Are MM concerns integrated into other major policies/programmes in particular in investments in transport infrastructures, road pricing schemes, traffic management schemes*? (20 lines max)

How are soft measures integrated when transport infrastructures are built The Highways Agency (supervised by the Department for Transport) is responsible for building major roads

(motor ways and A roads). It is also concerned with minimizing the impact on the environment by assigning

travel plans to some infrastructure improements.

The Influencing Travel Behaviour programme is designed to promote sustainable travel and reduce

congestion on England's 'strategic road network'. Through this the Agency aims to cut congestion by

influencing travel behaviour, providing access to information to help people make *smarter travel choices and

introducing demand management measures in areas prone to congestion. The Influencing Travel Behaviour

programme has already delivered 11 travel plans sites showing good value for money and a benefit to cost

ration of 4:1

To tackle the above, the Agency is currently implementing a programme of 'smarter choices', which

constitutes a series of measures designed to promote sustainable travel alternatives, majoring on the delivery

of Travel Plans. The issue of sustainable travel and transport is high on the Government's transport agenda,

particularly after the Stern and Eddington reports on climate, the economy and transport's role in these crucial

areas. Influenced by Stern and Eddington, DfT have published a document called 'Towards a Sustainable

Transport System'

Road pricing

Shellhaven:

This is a major development associated with the port. Estimates have been made of the additional traffic that

will be permitted on the network. Above these thresholds the developer will then have to pay access charges

for every additional vehicle that joins the network. It has been necessary to agree these thresholds and a

range of measures that will be put in place to ensure that the volume of traffic from the development is kept

below the threshold. Monitoring arrangements have also been embedded into the travel plan.

Very few toll roads in the UK – one example is the M6 near Birmingham

Traffic management schemes It is becoming more common for procurement regulations in the UK (eg for local public sector organisations)

now to include prioirity status to be awareded to suppliers with green fleets – although it is still early stages

3.4 How far is MM an objective or an outcome of the land use planning

system*?

MM is very much an objective of land use planning system in the UK.

Central Government has published: Planning Policy Guidance 2001 with sections on “Using the Planning

Process to Secure Travel Plans”: The government considers that travel plans should be submitted alongside

planning applications which are likely to have significant transport inplications. For example major

development comprising jobs, leisure, services, officers, industry, schools as well as Residential travel plans.

Initiatives such as minimizing the number of parking spaces, setting up a car club, bike stands, build near to

exisiting public transport infrastructure, etc. Otherwise the Local authority may take punitive actions against

the developer.

However, a serious problem is that many of these travel plans are never implemented post-development.

Despite this, the Travel Plans are an important source of income for local authorities since the developers

money collected under Section 106 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 is significant, although it may

not always been re-invested into Mobility Management actions.

Regionally, The London Plan sets out the framework for spatial planning in London which was published in

October 2009. The delivery of Crossrail by 2017 is the Mayor's top transport priority. To safeguard its delivery

the Mayor will ask for contributions from certain office developments to help fund it.

The close coordination of land use and transport planning is crucial to effective and sustainable spatial

development and supports the approach taken by the Government in PPG 13: Transport (April 2001)2. This

states that planning has a key role in delivering the Governments integrated transport strategy. Shaping the

pattern of development and influencing the location, scale, density, design and mix of land uses, can help

reduce the need to travel and the length of journeys, and make it safer and easier for people to access jobs,

shopping, leisure facilities and services by public transport, walking, and cycling.

The Olympics is a huge example of where massive scale planning and Mobility Management are

interconnected See Olympic Delivery Authority transport plan

The Business Improvement Disctrict of BETTER BANKSIDE in London is proof also of a deeper collaborative

approach to travel plnnaing and development within an urban area with the support of businessed.

There are software systems which monitor and evaluate the impact of these travel plans and include formulas

for calculating trip generations:

TRAVL is a multi-modal trip generation database for London, the database contains surveys of more than 300

sites. TRICS is similar to TRAVL but covers the whole UK

See TfL guidance docs for more information

3.5 Are the European Structural Funds * used to fund MM measures in your country?

Interreg yes:

Cross River Partnership has recently secured ERDF funding for the Supply Chain Procurement PRogramme support of business development in central London Westminster, Lambeth and Southwark

of 22

boroughs currently organise their own borough-level “meet the buyer” events and provide varying degrees of

business support. Coupled with targeted business support it will increase the amount of inter-borough trade,

strengthening local supply chains and supporting local business. This involves a large element of Mobility

Management

4 Trends and further developments

4.1 What is effective in your country in the field of MM? Why ?(15 lines max)

Single measures Workplace Travel Plans in Urban Areas – TfL have recorded 13% decrease in car use over last 2 years

School Travel Plans – Many state of the art examples across the UK – obligatory in schools

Cycling demonstration towns – Bristol, Exeter

Integrated measures

Smarter Travel Towns – Sutton, Richmond

Sustainable Travel Towns – Worcester, Peterborough

Travel Awareness campaigns – small scale and large eg Free Wheel (Sky Ride) in London, the BIG WHEEL

in Nottingham

A sustained period of investment has helped these initiatives, as has the high priority given in the UK to

monitoring and evaluation – eg of Workplace Travel Plans in London. Political support at national (eg funding

for sustainable travel towns) and regional levels (eg Congestion Charge London) important, as is the national

targets on Co2 emissions and the Climate Change Act 2008. In Scotland also there is a strong Smarter Travel

agenda.

Lobbying for MM

Many charities and NGOs lobbying government

-Walk England

-Cycling England

-Sustrans

ACT Travelwise – National MM network

4.2 General outlook on the development of MM (15 lines max)

The outlook is looking even more promising!

Climate Change Act: 80% Co2 reduction target by 2050 legally binding = overall umbrella (as well as EU and

Copenhagen targets)

There is now more and more evidence of the benefits of MM.

ACT Travelwise is growing in strength still = 500 members to date

Many government departments working on transport-related areas (Health, Environment, Business, Transport,

Energy)

Studies carried out in the UK such as on the Economic benefits of walking and cycling give further evidence

for take up of MM even among skeptics.

Many National, Regional and Local Policies embedding Carbon reduction and Smarter Travel as priorities

6 Next steps for the Mobility Management Monitors

6.1 Suggestions on the use of MMMs for further dissemination *

I think that we should also include details of FUTURE policies which are being drafted / considered. This is

where EPOMM can prove real added value by collating in advance, a resource of information with which we

can advise Ministries what ingredients to put into the MM policies.

MMMs should be distributed to the ACT Travelwise Board (UK MM Network) for consideration and

benchmarking of MM activities down to the local level

MMMs should be presented to Ministries (UK Department for Transport), so that they can see which countries

have already developed policies which DfT wish to implement themselves – added value – pool knowledge

MMMs to be presented at local conferences and seminars

MMMs to be presented to regional authorities also – they may benfit from insight into policy making

6.2 Improvement of this template for next years *
