If everyone in Colchester who travelled to work by car (pre-Covid-19) used a different form of transport two times a week, this would remove nearly 150,000 car journeys each week Colchester Future Transport Strategy Public engagement document seeking your views Objectives
To achieve our vision and improve the health and wellbeing of people in Colchester, we have set six objectives to measure all potential future transport schemes against.
• Providing attractive and healthy • Providing a safer transport environment: environments: Improve safety and the perception of Protect, enhance and improve the safety within Colchester to promote a safe quality of the natural, built and historic travelling environment for all road users. environment and reduce air pollution, to enhance residents’, workers’ and visitors’ • Managing demand: quality of life.

Reducing this even a little would have a large jobs and education. positive impact on the transport network – and on air quality. Colchester Future Transport Strategy Public engagement document seeking your views Delivering the vision
Delivering the vision will require a mixture of small-scale initiatives over the next few years, large scale improvements over the coming decade and major schemes identified for the future. The purpose of the strategy set out later in this document is to become the blueprint against which potential schemes will be assessed. And while technology and behaviours will change over the coming years, ensuring that schemes adhere to and deliver on the vision and aims is important as Colchester continues to evolve.
Over the next five years Over the next ten years Over the next 20 years

Before the Covid-19 pandemic parts of the A12 around Colchester carried over 100,000 vehicles per day. Both the A12 and A120 west of Colchester operate at capacity in the morning and evening peaks, which can cause traffic issues. Within the centre of Colchester, many roads are over capacity in the peak periods and see high levels of congestion and poor air quality. The following maps created before Covid show how busy each road in Colchester is in the morning (first map) and afternoon (second map) during peak hours. The maps show how slowly the traffic is moving compared to the typical speed in the off-peak hours (known as free-flow speed). The bigger the difference, the greater the congestion and journey time delay on the road, as well as impact on air quality and people’s health. The red colour indicates that the road is moving significantly slower than would be possible outside of the peak hour.

Colchester Future Transport Strategy Public engagement document seeking your views How we travel
• Journeys to work have the most significant impact on the road network. However, it is recognised that other reasons for travel (for example the school run and shopping trips) can see increased traffic in between peak periods. There are notable congestion issues in the town centre at weekends. • Census ‘journey to work’ data shows that 63% of all Colchester borough residents travel to work by car or van (either driving or as a passenger). Of these car journeys, 40% are 5k or less in length. • About two thirds of us live and work in the Colchester borough. Despite this, sustainable travel options such as trains, buses, cycling and walking account for only 31% of journeys to work. • Additionally, many car journeys made are short. Around 20% of us travel 2km or less to work by car and 40% travel 5km or less. • During Covid-19 car journeys dropped significantly with up to 20,000 fewer journeys on some roads than at the same point last year. There has also been a significant increase in the popularity of cycling.
This information tells us that the travel choices we make have a significant impact on the number of vehicles on the road. Many car trips could be made by other forms of travel, helping to remove traffic from an already congested road network. However, this can only happen if the alternatives to the private car are made more attractive.

2 149 Colchester Future Transport Strategy Public engagement document seeking your views Colchester’s buses
Colchester has a comprehensive bus network which helps support the strong local economy of shops, leisure centres, cinemas, pubs, theatres and restaurants. Buses are an important facilitator of economic activity and there are large groups of people who are reliant on bus services in the borough. Colchester also has a Park and Ride service that provides a sustainable travel option serving Colchester Hospital, Colchester Station and the town centre at a frequency of every 15 minutes. However, many buses are delayed in the same congestion as other motorised vehicle users. This delay negatively affects passenger perception of the service, making buses a less attractive choice. It also impacts on air quality within the town. Buses can help to reduce congestion by reducing the number of cars on the road. On average, buses can carry up to 60 people with the potential to remove the same number of cars from the road network. Unfortunately for many people in Colchester who could feasibly take the bus, the longer journey times and upfront cost make car travel more attractive.

Colchester bus network Colchester Future Transport Strategy Public engagement document seeking your views Colchester’s railway stations
Colchester benefits from two stations in the town centre, Colchester Station and Colchester Town, as well as Hythe Station to the east. The rail network is heavily used by passengers travelling between Colchester, London and Ipswich, as well as branch-line towns such as Braintree, Sudbury and Clacton. In 2016/17 there were just under 5.5 million visits to and from central rail stations in Colchester, with Colchester Station accounting for 82% of this total. At the same time, outlying stations at Hythe, Wivenhoe and Marks Tey have seen significant increases in passenger numbers as commuters seek to avoid congested areas around rail stations in central Colchester. Supporting both new and existing residents in using sustainable transport such as buses, walking or cycling to access rail stations in Colchester would quickly reduce pressure on the road network and maintain economic growth, while also supporting a healthy lifestyle.
The type of transport we choose to travel to and from rail stations has the potential to impact the road network in a very significant way. Colchester Future Transport Strategy Public engagement document seeking your views Colchester’s cycle network
Cycling regularly has been shown to improve physical and mental wellbeing, increase energy and reduce stress. Colchester has good cycling provision, with much of the infrastructure focused within the town centre itself, providing a mixture of on and off-road routes. A number of national cycle routes run through the borough, connecting the town with places such as London, Harwich, and even the Netherlands as part of the North Sea Cycle Network. Colchester has one of the highest levels of cycling in Essex with over 2,500 journeys to work made by bike each day, however this number can be significantly increased. The cycle network is incomplete and there are a number of barriers to cycling such as a lack of signage, a lack of cycle parking facilities, and inadequate lighting. Investing in the quality and safety of existing cycle routes, closing gaps in the cycle network and providing routes to link new developments to key destinations will help to make cycling an attractive way to get about.
Actively encouraging the use of cycling, walking and public transport for trips to and from Colchester’s railway stations is essential. Colchester Future Transport Strategy Public engagement document seeking your views

Our Solution: Colchester’s Future Transport Strategy
To shape Colchester’s future transport network and achieve the vision of prioritising active and safe sustainable travel to bring about health, environmental and economic benefits, there is a need for a new approach.

Colchester Future Transport Strategy Public engagement document seeking your views Creating zones The future transport strategy will focus on the type of journey – short, medium and long distance. This will be achieved through creating zones.
The strategy sees the creation of four distinct zones, recognising that a varied approach is needed to meet Colchester’s different needs. ZONE 1 (TOWN CENTRE) In the town centre, where the public Would focus primarily on walking, the quality of the public realm and experience of Colchester as a high quality realm is important for attracting businesses place.

Any remaining traffic needs to be managed ZONE 2 (WIDER TOWN AREA) as efficiently as possible with clear and innovative signage to direct traffic onto the Would see walking and cycling prioritised, along with passenger transport access into the town. most appropriate routes and into the most suitable car parks as quickly as possible.

To reduce car use, improve air quality and improve health across the town centre and wider Colchester area, schemes will focus on:
The improvement of green links Current Priorities (cycling/walking): Station roundabout: Including flagship routes, route Investigating potential options to improve the improvements, missing links, lighting/ flow of vehicles, buses and cycles through crossings this gateway junction to the town centre Public transport improvements: Improving connectivity along the A133 E.g.

A number of travel change initiatives have been implemented or are ongoing within Colchester, including:
Safer, Greener, Healthier Following the Covid-19 pandemic, a series of ‘Safer, Greener, Healthier’ interim traffic measures have been introduced in Colchester to create more shared space for walking and cycling. 20mph limits, temporary barriers and signs providing shared spaces have been introduced on the High Street, Queen Street/St Botolph’s, Head Street, St Johns Street and other town centre roads, and on the vital corridor between the main rail station and town centre, including North Station Road and North Hill. Colchester Travel Plan Club Formed in 2004 by local organisations who needed to manage their demand for car parking and who were concerned about the impact of local traffic on their business, the community and the environment. Cycle Colchester A legacy of the Cycle Town 2008-2011 project and continuing initiative to encourage and promote cycling within Colchester, keeping you up-to-date with the latest local cycling news.
Clean Air Colchester To support air quality improvements in the borough, Colchester Borough Council has been awarded funding from DEFRA to manage a two-year project. The project focuses on encouraging walking and cycling for short journeys and getting people to switch off their engines when they are not moving.
Essex Cycling Strategy The Essex Cycling Strategy aims to encourage Essex residents, workers and visitors to enjoy the health benefits of cycling, offering an affordable travel choice for journeys around our towns, as well as encouraging more leisure and family bike rides to enjoy the Essex countryside.
Park Active A Government-funded scheme to allow people to leave their car and walk or cycle for the rest of their journey. This will help reduce demand for central parking spaces and reduce traffic in these areas, freeing up space for people to social distance, cutting congestion and improving air quality. Colchester Future Transport Strategy Public engagement document seeking your views
While sustainable travel will be key to future proofing Colchester’s network, appropriate highways schemes will be necessary to support how we move around the borough. These will take the form of urban and strategic projects. Projects within the town will support the wider strategy, while also helping to reduce congestion, for example:

It is also important to help move traffic away from local roads on to the wider strategic network. Keeping traffic moving on strategic road helps improve air quality in urban areas and supports economic growth:
