Overview: Monitoring Objectives Staff/Student Travel Data University Business Travel

1 LJMU Green Travel Plan

1. Overview – what is this Travel Plan for? 1.1 Aim of the Travel Plan This Travel Plan has been developed by Liverpool John Moores University to assist with the delivery of related initiatives and communications to staff and students, promoting the use of sustainable transport in order to minimise the impact on the environment, and achieving carbon and cost savings for the University.

The Travel Action Plan (Appendix D) incorporates a package of measures and recommendations to encourage the use of alternatives to single-occupancy car-use and promote increased accessibility and sustainable modes of transport 1.2 LJMU Estate Masterplan This Travel Plan aligns with LJMU’s current Estate Masterplan, which aspires to unite several LJMU campuses by creating a new route from Lime Street Station, through the Copperas Hill site to the Mount Pleasant campus. This will strengthen the connectedness of different buildings, and in part contribute to LJMU’s carbon emissions reduction obligations. Extending from this, the bold plans for a new city centre development around Copperas Hill will transform an underused area of Liverpool, creating a new focal point for University operations plus exceptional facilities and services for students, staff and the wider community.

The Copperas Hill development will address current problems such as pedestrian access, acting as a gateway to the LJMU campus and Knowledge Quarter. It will further assist with improved transit across the estate and a reduced need to depend on high-emission modes of transport (e.g. single passenger car journeying). From a location perspective, Copperas Hill will be extremely supportive to future travel plan: the site is adjacent to Lime Street station and within a few minutes’ walking distance of the other city train stations, all bus route stops, bus stations, and Citybike posts. 1.3 Sustainable Travel Policy The University’s Sustainable Travel Policy was introduced in November 2016 as the University recognised its environmental impact on university-related travel, and the Policy commits the University to identify, monitor and reduce these impacts. The Policy can be viewed at https://www.ljmu.ac.uk/about-us/about-liverpool-john-moores-university/sustainability/travel

Appendix A provides a more detailed outline of relevant internal and local policy.

2 What we monitor As part of the Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA) Estate Management return, LJMU annually monitors the following:

• University-owned vehicle fleet emissions • Estimated staff commute emissions (from and fuel usage (petrol and diesel) car, rail, bus and other) • Business travel emissions – air, rail, car/van • Estimated student study travel emissions hire and grey fleet (personal vehicle use (from car, rail, bus and other) for business trips)

2 LJMU Green Travel Plan

3 Objectives The Travel Plan’s objectives draw on those outlined in a number of policy documents, (see Appendix A for fuller details):

Objective To improve access to all LJMU buildings for all staff, students and visitors.

Objective To increase the travel survey participation rate.

Objective Promote active travel (walking and cycling) to enhance health and wellbeing of LJMU students and staff.

Objective To put measures in place to reduce potential negative impact of travel on the environment, by encouraging the use of more sustainable modes of transport.

Objective To reduce the number of single occupant car journeys and car dependency, and consequently ease car parking congestion at the University.

3 LJMU Green Travel Plan

4 University Travel 4.1 Business Travel The chart below indicates emissions arising from the University’s business travel. Air travel accounts for the greatest proportion of these aggregated emissions; grey fleet (use of personal vehicle for business trips with mileage claimed through expenses) has stayed relatively static; and both car/van hire and rail emissions have gradually reduced.

4 LJMU Green Travel Plan

4.2 University Fleet Overall fuel consumption and emissions from the University-owned vehicle fleet have both gradually increased over the past four years, as indicated by the charts below.

LJMU has incorporated two Lexus NX300h hybrid cars within the University vehicle fleet. Both vehicles are estimated to complete 20,000 miles per annum. LJMU are currently seeking commercial offers for the replacement of both its light commercial vehicle (LCV) and executive vehicle fleets and have included an option for up to 3 LCV’s to be all electric and for one of its executive fleet to be equipped with hybrid technology. LJMU has two electric vehicle charging stations situated at Byrom Street.

5 LJMU Green Travel Plan

5 Surveys and Targets The chart below illustrates LJMU’s staff and student travel preferences since 2005 as a long-term monitoring exercise, including a comment on participation rates. The most recent Staff and Student Travel Surveys were conducted in March 2018 with a participation rate of 15% and 12%, respectively.

Staff and Student Travel Surveys will be conducted every two academic years. This will reduce conflict with other surveys (e.g. the National Student Survey) and will deliver data for extrapolating carbon emissions for the annual HESA (Higher Education Statistics Agency) Estate Management Return which operates a 24 month validity period for travel data entered.

Target A robust approach for effective communication, promotion and potential incentivising will be undertaken to support the aim for minimum participation rates of 20% in Staff Travel Surveys, and 10% in Student Travel Surveys.

5.1 Staff Travel

Staff areas for improvement: A postcode plot (a mapping exercise which illustrates the radius that staff are commuting within), walking challenges and overall promotion of the fitness and wellbeing benefits of walking up to 5 miles a day could encourage higher walking rates. Exploring options for encouraging and supporting car share amongst staff, or promoting affordable public transport options, could be effective in reducing single-passenger car journeys down to 25%. This is important as the proportion single-passenger car journeys is slowly creeping up since 2014.

6 LJMU Green Travel Plan

Target Reduce staff single passenger car journeys to 25%

Target Increase staff public transport commuting to at least 50%

5.2 Student Travel

Student areas for improvement: LJMU as a predominantly city-based university lends itself to walking (which is now the modal choice for more than a third of LJMU students) and public transport. Single passenger car is slowly increasing since 2015, however. This presents an opportunity to look at how the University can better support alternatives such as car sharing, cycling (which remains a minimal modal choice for LJMU students), and affordable public transport options.

Target! Reduce student single passenger car journeys to at most 10%

Target! Increase student active travel (walking and cycling) to at least 40%

6 Travel and Transport in Liverpool

6.1 Walking and Cycling Walking and cycling – also known collectively as active travel – are simple ways of incorporating physical activity into our daily lives. Walking and cycling provide the following benefits:

 Healthier and happier staff and students, and increased productivity;  Reduced stress and improved health which leads to lifestyle improvements;  Reduced absenteeism due to healthier staff; and  Overall reduced traffic levels which result in less pollution and improve air quality in the local area, as well as fewer accidents.

The LJMU city campus enjoys good accessibility between buildings and the student halls of accommodation. To find out your best route – including how many calories you can burn and how

much CO2 you could save – the urban walking route planner ‘Walkit’ is a great tool. This is available at www.walkit.com, or alternatively as an app on either iOS or Android. Identifying a ‘walking buddy’ is also a helpful initiative, especially during the winter months (see 5.8 Car and Journey Share).

LJMU Green Travel Plan

LJMU is well served with cycling storage spaces, equipment lockers and changing facilities on site. The campus also benefits from a dedicated University Cycle Route which offers cyclists a less congested route between the city centre and IM Marsh: http://liverpool.gov.uk/media/9409/universityroute.pdf. This route takes approximately 25 minutes–

that’s around 200 calories burned and 1.3kg CO2 saved per trip!

LJMU Green Travel Plan

6.1.1 Cycle Storage CCTV

Eight state-of-the-art CCTV cameras are operational across the campus in key cycle storage areas. Funding was obtained by the Environment Team from the Department for Transport, administered through Merseytravel. The LJMU Security Team has also delivered initiatives such as discounted D- locks for students to ensure that the LJMU cycling community feels more secure in its transport choice.

6.1.2 Citybikes for Hire

Liverpool City Council launched its Citybike scheme in May 2014, the largest one of its kind in the UK outside of London. During 2014, LJMU worked with the Liverpool Citybike Scheme, in conjunction with Liverpool City Council, to arrange for a suite of Citybike hubs to be installed at key buildings and sites. Subsequently free taster days on the Citybikes have been offered to students during the LJMU Welcome Weeks, while a pilot staff Citybike scheme took place in 2016/17.

The green Citybikes around the city can be hired for as little as £1 a day and £5 a week. Alternatively, if you join the Citybike scheme as an annual member for £55 (or £50 if you are a student), you can make as many 30 minute bike rides as you like for free – that’s as little as 15p a day for the annual membership fee! Further details on Citybike can be found at www.Citybikeliverpool.co.uk. LJMU Sustainability and Environmental Team aim to engage with corporate deals for students and staff; all enquiries should be directed using the contacts at the end of this document.

6.6 Public Transport Journey Apps For accessibility guidance, please see Section 7.

Public transport is very important in providing links between a skilled workforce and the workplace, whilst also enhancing opportunities to establish and maintain new contacts, work in partnership and access new markets. Furthermore, it is vital to the student population who are based across the Liverpool City Region to access the University for education and extra-curricular activities (see 7. Campus Assessment). LJMU has various schemes in place to encourage increased public transport use (see 6. Sustainable Travel Initiatives).

You can easily check the quickest journey for you by bus or train using a free journey app or website, such as the new Merseytravel Journey App:

• PC: http://jp.merseytravel.gov.uk/nwm/XSLT_TRIP_REQUEST2?language=en

• iOS: https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/merseytravel/id879482399?mt=8

LJMU Green Travel Plan

6.7 IM Marsh Travel Grant In recognising that there is often an additional travel cost incurred by students travelling to the IM Marsh campus, LJMU is delivering additional travel support.

First year (Level 4) full-time students who are taught at the IM Marsh campus and who live in a city centre hall of residence are entitled to a FREE Arriva student bus pass. The pass will permit students to travel at any time of day, with no restrictions during the teaching period of the academic year. The passes will be available for collection when students enrol at IM Marsh.

First year students who have a query about whether they are eligible for the free pass should contact the Accommodation Office at [email protected].

LJMU Green Travel Plan

6.8 Taxis Taxis are an important and complementary part of the transport system for commuting. As an alternative to single-passenger journeys, taxi sharing can reduce travel costs for LJMU and individual staff, while decreasing carbon emissions. This is particularly true if taxies are chosen for inter-campus travel, rather than staff commuting singly in cars on days when inter-campus travel is required. They can also be a safe and secure way for students to travel back to Halls after a night out, especially if you travel as a group and split the costs.

Two types of taxi are available in and around Liverpool: the hackney-style (or Black cabs), which you can flag down on the street or find at one of the ranks throughout the city. Make sure you take a note of the yellow-lit cab number which is located in the window divider between the back of the car and the taxi driver; private hire cabs, which must be pre-booked.

Generally, if you are planning a journey it is advisable to pre-book a private hire taxi and agree the fare on booking. If you are at IM Marsh, there is a taxi pick-up/drop-off point on campus in front of the Meeting Place. Please note: this is a pick-up point for pre-booked taxis only.

Private Hire Taxi Operators The following list is not exhaustive of taxi operators in Liverpool, but it’s useful to take note of a few numbers or apps in case you ever get stuck for taxi home.

LJMU Green Travel Plan

6.9 Car Sharing Car sharing is a great option for people who are travelling to and from the same destinations. The advantages are numerous: the shared cost of petrol and parking may present an attractive benefit, and time spent searching for a parking space can be reduced if there is subsequent eased demand in car parks. Car sharing is also beneficial to the region as a decrease in the number of cars using the roads reduces congestion, emissions and associated environmental impacts.

Liverpool runs a City Car Club service, providing people with access to low-emission vehicles on a pay-as-you-go basis. All vehicles are available to use from reserved bays 24/7, 365 days a year, with hourly and annual rates from £4.95 and £39.95 respectively. The service can be for those who do not own a car but who have occasional need for one, or for business usage as an alternative to pool car vehicles or single-passenger business travel. For more information, please visit http://www.citycarclub.co.uk/locations/liverpool-car-hire.

LJMU Green Travel Plan

6.10 LJMU Car Parking LJMU recognises that whilst driving is sometimes the only practical option, a lot of trips are frequently unnecessary. For example, around half of all car journeys in the UK are for less than five miles with alternatives such as walking, cycling or public transport which are more environmentally friendly, healthier and in some cases cheaper. However, where these options are not suitable, LJMU offers some car parking provision across its campuses.

All LJMU staff members are entitled to apply for a parking permit. Permits are issued on demand and give the holder the right to park only if space is available. There are no reserved or guaranteed spaces. Prices are £3.50 per day or £40 per month. Further details and how to apply can be found on the University’s car parking webpages: https://www2.ljmu.ac.uk/PRS/126464.htm

There is no general student parking, with the exception of IM Marsh Campus where student parking is available at £1 per day. Permits can be bought at the canteen at IM Marsh, or purchased via the LJMU Online Shop. Free parking for registered disabled students is available at all sites.

Access to the majority of car parks is controlled by card swipe barriers operated by staff and student cards. This access level is only available to permit holders. For information on staff and student Disabled Parking, please see Section 7: Accessibility.

7 Accessibility

As a student with a disability, there is a huge variety of services and support available at LJMU.

In the first instance, the LJMU Disability Advice Team helps provide general and bespoke support. The Disability Team provide information on: • Relevant disability focused support and appropriate funding opportunities; • Adapted accommodation; • Individual Student Learning Plans (ISLP) which set out the type of support you may need and who is responsible for ensuring your support is in place.

Given the nature of LJMU’s estate, the Disability Advice Team can also provide bespoke guidance, upon request, on accessible routes between its sites.

The Disability Team also liaises and works closely with the Disability Coordinators. There are Disability Coordinators in every Faculty who you can talk to about a range of support and information. They also act as a point of liaison with you and Faculty staff. Staff, students and visitors with an access query are encouraged to contact the Disability Advice Team at:

Website: https://www.ljmu.ac.uk/discover/student-support/students-with-a-disability Email: [email protected] Tel: 0151 231 3164 / 3165

LJMU policies relating to disability and equality may be viewed here for additional guidance:

https://policies.ljmu.ac.uk/UserHome/Policies/Default.aspx

7.1 Accessible Journey Planning

LJMU works closely with DisabledGo, which publishes detailed information on accessibility across all LJMU’s buildings and sites. DisabledGo also provides detailed access information on the surrounding facilities such as student accommodation, cafes and restaurants, leisure facilities, cinemas, museums, places of worship and more. The Disability Advice Team and Disability Coordinators will be able to signpost you to the website, but you can also access it freely here:

Main webpage: www.disabledgo.com LJMU platform: www.disabledgo.com/organisations/liverpool-john-moores-university/main-2

LJMU students who use DisabledGo are able to tailor their profile to suit them, incorporating bespoke and favourited sites and trips. Going forward, there are potential opportunities for LJMU to further increase its functionality with DisabledGo; this may be through employing additional wayfinding services and by linking the LJMU Green Travel Plan directly to the online platform.

7.2 Access Between Buildings

Approximate walking times between main LJMU campus buildings and the Student Halls can be found in section 6.1 Walking and Cycling.

LJMU Green Travel Plan

7.3 Accessible Public Transport

Public transport services across Liverpool are designed to facilitate access. Access information on trains and buses is provided below, but further Merseytravel guidance may be viewed at:

• Transport Accessibility including bus, train, ferry, travel centre, Merseylink and contacts : http://www.merseytravel.gov.uk/travelling-around/transport-accessibility/Pages/default.aspx • Easy Access Guide: http://www.merseytravel.gov.uk/Site%20Documents/Easy%20Access%20Guide%20- %20November%202011.pdf • Concessions: http://www.merseytravel.gov.uk/Tickets/concessions/Pages/Disabled.aspx

There are 88 bus stops in reasonable proximity to all city-based LJMU sites. Of these, 77 (or 86%) offer shelter, seating and raised kerbs (for level boarding). These bus stop are also close to a sloped kerb pedestrian crossing for further accessibility.

If you are travelling by bus to IM Marsh, the 82 and 699 routes are outlined in Section 9. The closest 699 bus stops (in both directions) both offer shelter, seating and raised kerbs. The 82 bus stop towards IM Marsh also makes these provisions. The 82 bus stop in the direction of Liverpool City Centre does not offer any such provision.

There are ten train stations in total which service LJMU’s campus sites – please see Section 6.3 to see which train station is closest to the campus you are visiting. These train stations all have Disabled

Access, though some will be more limited.

Working Together: LJMU Travel Initiatives Working in Partnership

LJMU Green Travel Plan

8 Travel Initiatives for LJMU Staff LJMU have a number of travel schemes in place, which may support staff in making more sustainable travel choices. Click on the links in the table below for more information.

Flexi Time Policy The University currently operates flexible working in a number of areas. Depending on how flexi time is managed, this may support the choice to use public transport instead of a private vehicle.

Interest-free loan to To obtain an annual season ticket loan staff can complete the purchase annual rail or bus online application to request a Travel Loan Payment, which is subsequently paid via salary sacrifice. pass

Interest-free loan to You can typically save either 40% (lower rate taxpayers) or 48% purchase bicycle and cycle (higher rate taxpayers) through the Cycle to Work scheme. With the package costs recovered from your gross pay via salary equipment sacrifice, you make savings through your Tax and NI contributions.

Salary Sacrifice Car scheme Details available from 28th Feb

To strengthen support for staff and student sustainable travel, the Travel Plan Action Plan in Appendix D lists proposed additional initiatives including any ongoing processes for providing excellent travel and transport information and support.

9 Working in Partnership Whilst the Travel Plan is managed and developed by the LJMU Environment Team (with engagement from Estate Management, Corporate Communications and Stakeholder Relations, Liverpool SU, and other internal bodies), LJMU has also pursued and established a number of external partnership opportunities to strengthen the objectives and success of its Travel Plan. These include:

9.1 City Centre Travel Plan Group (CCTG) This partnership was set up in 2009 and is based across the Knowledge Quarter including key stakeholders such as LJMU, Merseytravel, Liverpool City Council, Royal Liverpool University Hospital, Liverpool Women’s and Alder Hey Hospitals, University of Liverpool, and Liverpool Hope University. The CCTG runs meetings scheduled in tandem with the Employers Network Forum (see below), with a view to bolstering city-wide sustainable transport efforts by all partners, and to collaborate and engage regarding promotion and awareness-raising exercises and activities.

LJMU Green Travel Plan

9.2 Merseytravel’s Employers’ Network Forum The Employers’ Network notes the following benefits of signing up: “The Employers’ Network gives your organisation access to bespoke consultancy support to enable you to give your staff and visitors choice about how they travel to work, alleviating car parking pressures and giving your organisation the best advice in order to maximise your productivity where staff travel and transport is concerned.” Via the Employers’ Network, the LJMU Environment Team have successfully bid for grants which have funded state-of-the-art CCTV at cycle storage on campus, and a 40 capacity cycle hub at Byrom Street.

9.3 Liverpool Knowledge Quarter Sustainability Network The Liverpool Knowledge Quarter Sustainability Network (KQSN) was set up in partnership between Liverpool John Moores University, University of Liverpool, Royal Liverpool & Broadgreen University Hospital Trust, and the former Sustainable Food Cities Co-ordinator for Liverpool. The core aim of the KQSN is to enhance the sustainability of the Liverpool Knowledge Quarter and be a model for the wider City Region. The KQSN promotes sustainability and environmental issues through Liverpool’s Knowledge Quarter and encourages active collaboration and partnership. Its members comprise a vast range of experience in sustainability and are well-placed across leading organisations and community groups alike to realise change and drive Liverpool’s sustainability agenda.

The KQSN is linked to Knowledge Quarter Liverpool which is working to establish a travel working group to look at improving the flow of travel within the knowledge quarter boundaries.

9.4 Merseytravel Student Voice Report

The Merseytravel Student Voice project commenced with the aim ‘to provide recommendations on how Merseytravel can embed the student voiced into policy decisions, marketing and communications improving the customer experience of the student population in the Liverpool City Region’. In partnership with Merseytravel, representatives from LJMU conducted a student focus group with students from across the three Liverpool-based Universities (LJMU, University of Liverpool and Liverpool Hope University), and subsequently supported the work of a Student Voices Officer in further research. The report published in 2017 sits within the Merseytravel Corporate Engagement Team and details a number of recommendations as an output from this research.

Going Forward: Key Recommendations Get in Touch

LJMU Green Travel Plan

10 Next Steps Aligning with the LJMU Strategic Plan 2017-2022, the Travel Plan aims to support LJMU as a University that places students at the heart of its endeavour, and with an estate that fosters a sense of community, supports high-quality activity, and operates sustainably. Quality of travel and transport choices is also critical to a seamless student experience. Working to provide accessible sites and smarter transport options (which save money, CO2, and improve fitness and wellbeing levels) for both our staff and students will support achievement of these strategic institutional aims. We have reviewed progress to date and developed the Travel Action Plan (Appendix D) to formulate a range of measures that will address this Plan’s objectives and support delivery of targets. Progress against these measures will be monitored in line with the annual Travel Plan review, used to support delivery of the Sustainable Travel Policy, and reported on within our Annual Environment and Sustainability Report.

Travel Plan Action Plan

LJMU Green Travel Plan

Appendix A Policy Context Setting the policy context will illustrate how the LJMU Green Travel Plan supports local and regional transport policy, as well as supporting the internal strategic objectives of LJMU.

Liverpool John Moores University Environment and Sustainability Policy The Environment and Sustainability Policy can be viewed at www.ljmu.ac.uk/Sustainability. Its commitments to delivering the best environmental practice include, but are not limited to: • Minimise associated pollution levels and implement prevention control • Reduce carbon emissions in line with targets • Encourage the use of sustainable means of transit and review operation of the University fleet • Foster environmental/sustainability awareness and principles amongst staff and students

Liverpool John Moores University Sustainable Travel Policy The Sustainable Travel Policy can be viewed at www.ljmu.ac.uk/Sustainability. It defines an overarching objective that LJMU is aware of the environmental impact of university travel and is committed to identifying, monitoring and reducing the same. Subsidiary objectives include, but are not limited to: • Monitor data and emissions associated with staff/student commute, business travel, University fleet • Undertake staff and student travel surveys

• Continue to improve access to all LJMU buildings

• Improve cycle facilities • Reduce car dependency and ease car parking congestion on campus • Provide detailed information of the ‘Green Travel Plan’ and associated sustainable travel options • Work in partnership to secure added value transport opportunities for LJMU staff and students • Support the University’s health and wellbeing agenda

Liverpool John Moores University Strategic Plan 2017-22 Liverpool John Moores University’s vision is “to be a pioneering modern civic university, delivering solutions to the challenges of the 21st century”. Within the Strategic Plan, the University aims to: • Place students at the heart of its endeavour • Enhancing life, aspirations and prospects within its communities • Delivering an estate that fosters a sense of community, supports high-quality activity, and operates sustainably • Delivering a strategic development programme and require each component to meet rigorous environmental criteria

Liverpool John Moores Estate Masterplan Over the past decade LJMU has invested more than £160 million in award winning buildings and facilities to cater for over 24,000 students – making it one of the largest higher education institutions in the UK.

LJMU Green Travel Plan

LJMU is committed to providing an outstanding student experience. This includes the creation of a sustainable, connected and walkable ‘village’ in the heart of Liverpool City Centre.

The masterplan for the site at Copperas Hill proposes to unite LJMU’s campus through the provision of new civic buildings and spaces at the heart of a walkable route which would link the John Lennon Arts and Design Building, the Redmonds Buildings and the facilities at Mount Pleasant with Lime Street Station, the Byrom Street Campus and the City Centre.

Climate Change Strategic Framework: A Prospectus for Action 2009 Liverpool City Council’s Climate Change Strategic Framework was developed to ensure that all its policies and programmes were aligned to the 2009 carbon emissions reduction target of 35% by 2024. The Framework includes an objective to increase use of public transport and walking and cycling routes.

Ensuring a Choice of Travel Supplementary Planning Document (SPD) Ensuring a Choice of Travel SPD was developed in partnership with Merseyside Local Authorities and Merseytravel in order to provide consistent guidance to developers on access and transport requirements for new development across the wider Merseyside area. Its core objectives are to: i) Ensure a reasonable choice of access by all modes of transport to new development. ii) Reduce the environmental impact of travel choices, by reducing pollution, and improving the local environment. iii) Improve road safety.

iv) Promote healthier lifestyles by providing opportunities for people to walk or cycle for work or leisure purposes. v) Reduce the level of traffic growth and congestion on the strategic and local road network vi) Encourage opportunities to improve the quality of development proposals by better use of space through the provision of less car parking spaces where appropriate.

The guidance contained with the SPD has informed objectives for issues such as cycle storage in the preliminary design for Copperas Hill as the major new development LJMU is pursuing on its estate.

Liverpool City Region Combined Authority: A Transport Plan for Growth With the creation of the Liverpool City Region Combined Authority in 2016 there was a need to bring together the existing Merseyside and Halton Local Transport Plans. A Transport Plan for Growth sets out the City Region’s strategic vision and delivery plan for transport and also looks to foster greater collaborative working across the Combined Authority.

The Transport Plan for Growth outlines the £1.7billion investment in transport across the City Region over the next 6 years from 2016 and sets the direction for future joint working with other sectors within the City Region. Contained within its Wider Strategic Priorities are references to carbon reduction and air quality, access to education, and connecting communities.

The Merseyside Local Transport Plan

LJMU Green Travel Plan

The Local Transport Plan (LTP) provides the framework for the policies and plans that will guide the future delivery of transport in Merseyside and the wider City Region as set out in the Transport Plan for Growth.

The LTP has the following vision: ‘A city region committed to a low carbon future, which has a transport network and mobility culture that positively contributes to a thriving economy and the health and wellbeing of its citizens and where sustainable travel is the option of choice.

The LTP has six key priorities: i) Help create the right conditions for sustainable economic growth by supporting the priorities of the Liverpool City Region, the Local Enterprise Partnership and the Local Strategic Partnerships. ii) Provide and promote a clean, low emission transport system which is resilient to changes to climate and oil availability. iii) Ensure the transport system promotes and enables improved health and wellbeing and road safety. iv) Ensure equality of travel opportunity for all, through a transport system that allows people to connect easily with employment, education, healthcare, other essential services and leisure and recreational opportunities. v) Ensure the transport network supports the economic success of the city region by the efficient movement of people and goods. vi) Maintain our assets to a high standard.

Liverpool Mayoral Commission on Environmental Sustainability The Commission on Environmental Sustainability was established by the Mayor of Liverpool, Joe Anderson OBE, to undertake an independent non-political review of what is required to support Liverpool as a sustainable city. The Commission was chaired by Professor Nigel Weatherill, Vice Chancellor and Chief Executive of Liverpool John Moores University and was tasked to identify and prioritise actions that could make the biggest impact on Liverpool and its residents.

With reference to travel and transport, the report of the Commission recommended that a strategy to deliver an integrated, innovative and sustainable transport system must be developed and implemented. The Commission recognised that a modern low-carbon integrated transport system and greater accessibility would be fundamental to the city’s success.
