Approximate Activity Resources Time Introduction What is the Glider? 10 minutes Explain to pupils the importance of sustainable Fact sheet about the transport and brief intro about Glider and how new way of travelling technology can support sustainable transport across Belfast and help in reducing carbon emissions. between east and west Warm up Activity 10 minutes Group work (to encourage mixed ability): pupils Map attached are asked to have a look at the map of the Glider route and plan their journey. They can decide to follow the entire route or divide the journey in more sections (it depends on time)* Main Activity 20 minutes Once the pupils are organised in groups and Glider Resource they have planned their journey, they can start – maths challenge map their maths task. Note: they can complete the entire route or decide to stop at any time during their virtual journey (the teacher will decide if developing this activity in one or more sessions). 20 minutes Follow up activity Teachers and pupils can plan as many journeys Map attached as they like! This activity can be extended for a few days and repeated as a good mathematics exercise. Each group of pupils can eventually design their own math challenge, which will then be shared with the other groups. *the activity can be developed across more than one session so the pupils can plan their journey in more than one day with different stops. It depends on pupils’ abilities and available time. Suggestion: divide the journey in more than one session. City Centre At this point we have 2 options: a. Do you want to go to visit the Titanic Visitor Centre (5A)? This would be a new Glider. b. Do you want to visit the Colin Town Centre Hub (5B)? This is on the original Glider. Note: Check the number of people at the last Glider Stop (City Centre) and keep in mind how many people will travel to the Colin Town Centre Hub Follow up exercise: make your own journey to come back to the Park & Ride, and to visit other city attractions including a math challenge…how many people can you count and keep track of during your journey? Key Stage 1-2 LESSON PLAN – A journey that counts! This math task could be either done as classroom activity or as interactive activity taking the pupils on a day trip around Belfast!

  • Northern Ireland Is Getting Ahead
    COMMENT northern ireland same time human interaction, in less theatrical form (unless you are fare dodging), is retained jonathan in the form of roving teams of jovial inspectors. The well thought through concept and bray the well thought through details mean the whole adds up to a lot more than the sum of the parts. It’s what FirstGroup’s FTR should have been and wasn’t - despite the hype and sycophancy from the trade press, Department for Transport and so on that greeted its launch at the time. This isn’t plonking fancy new bendy buses on the streets, and walking away Northern Ireland - it’s a whole new Belfast thing. People say they are getting the Glider rather than saying is getting ahead they are getting the bus. Suburban shopping centres are giving Glider the credit for higher You may not have yet noticed, but it’s become the place to watch, footfall. Before it was implemented the media with growing bus and rail demand and plans for unified ticketing said all that bus priority would lead to is the shuttering up of local traders. Yet now look at Ballyhackamore - on a Glider route and voted Of the four main constituent parts of the getting bus priority in was trickier - however, one of the best places to live in the UK. And UK, only one of them saw bus use grow last rather than attempt to barrel bus lanes through it’s also doing its bit for bringing communities year. It is the same one on track to having a for the benefit of suburbanites, the opportunity together as some people from nationalist smart and fully unified ticketing system across was taken to renew local streetscapes, giving communities have been travelling on it across all forms of public transport, and which has local high streets a boost in the process.

It has been prepared for the NI Assembly Infrastructure Committee to inform their discussion on potential areas of inquiry. Paper 57/20 7 October 2020 Research and Information Service briefings are compiled for the benefit of MLAs and their support staff. Authors are available to discuss the contents of these papers with Members and their staff but cannot advise members of the general public. We do, however, welcome written evidence that relate to our papers and these should be sent to the Research and Information Service, Northern Ireland Assembly, Room 139, Parliament Buildings, Belfast BT4 3XX or e-mailed to [email protected] NIAR 289-20 Research Paper Executive Summary Policy Framework Tackling climate change requires an international effort and as such both the UK and the EU are parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). Both the UK and EU have signed up to international climate change obligations, such as the Kyoto Protocol and the Paris Agreement. The 2015 Paris Agreement, a successor to the Kyoto Protocol, has been signed by 194 states and the European Union The UK has ratified the Paris Agreement separately from the EU and has committed to upholding its Paris Agreement obligations post Brexit.

  • Report on Glider Site Visit with Passengers with a Disability Or Reduced Mobility January 2019
    Report on Glider Site Visit with Passengers with a Disability or Reduced Mobility January 2019 CONTENTS CHAPTER PAGE 1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 2 2. INTRODUCTION 2 3. METHODOLOGY 4 4. FINDINGS 4 5. CONCLUSIONS 8 6. NEXT STEPS 8 1 1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1.1 This report details the findings of a site visit to use the new Glider public transport service in November 2018 with a group of passengers with a disability or reduced mobility. The Glider service was introduced in September 2018 and this visit allowed passengers to experience a journey on board the vehicles. 1.2 The Consumer Council arranged the visit in partnership with Translink and participants came from a range of organisations that represent people with a disability or reduced mobility. Participants met at Dundonald Park and Ride, used the ticket machine, boarding the vehicle and travelling to the city centre. The Department for Infrastructure (DfI) then hosted the group in its office for a short feedback session on the journey. Participants made comments throughout the visit and provided suggestions on how the service could be improved. 1.3 The groups were positive about the new service. The main suggestions focused around passenger education, the ticket machine, on-board the vehicle and signage. 1.4 The findings of the visit will be shared with Translink and DfI, and the Consumer Council will continue to work with Translink to progress the suggestions made. 1.5 We would like to extend our thanks to Translink and DfI for hosting the visit, and to all the participants who shared their experiences and views on the day.

  • Glider Update – May 2018
    Glider update – May 2018 About this update Over the past few years Imtac has been working with the Department for Infrastructure and Translink to make sure that the new Glider service will be accessible and inclusive. This update will highlight the key features on Glider and how older people and disabled people have been involved in its design. What is Glider? Glider is the name of the new Belfast Rapid Transit service which will start in September 2018. Glider will operate on two routes. The first route will run across East and West Belfast. The second route will run around the City Centre and out to the Titanic Quarter. The service will be operated by Translink. Glider vehicles Imtac members were involved at the early stage of designing Glider vehicles, including an event where older people and disabled people had the opportunity to comment on a mock-up of the vehicle. (Image shows people viewing the mock up of the Glider vehicle.) 1 The new Glider vehicles are longer than most buses and have three doors for passengers to get on and off. (Image shows exterior of the Glider vehicle with the first door open and boarding ramp deployed.) The space in the front section of the vehicle has been designed to be flexible, accessible to a range of passengers. The main features of the Glider vehicle include: • The first set of doors are equipped with a boarding ramp to ensure step free easy access. • A dedicated wheelchair user’s space, located directly opposite the first set of doors, ensuring access is easier than most other public transport vehicles.
