Ref: 83554/N68 23 rd March 2010 Note on Sustainable Travel Towns Background 1. Darlington, Peterborough and Worcester were designated ‘Sustainable Travel Towns’ as part of a 5 year DfT project from 2004 – 2009, to demonstrate the effect that a sustained package of ‘Smarter Choice’ measures can have when coupled with infrastructure improvements.

2. The three towns shared £10m of revenue funding with building and improvement works funded by LTP capital funding, bringing the total spent to £15m. Each town implemented a large-scale Smarter Choice Programme. All three programmes promoted bus use, cycling and walking and less single-occupancy car use. However, complementary measures to reduce or reallocate road space to match the reduction in car use were not included.

3. This note reviews the report titled ‘The Effects of Smarter Choice Programmes in the Sustainable Travel Towns: Summary Report,’ published in February 2010. It summarises the key findings from each town, the strategies employed to deliver the results and the lessons learnt for future programmes.

Key Findings by Mode 4. The success of the programmes was measured by individual surveys with over 4,000 respondents in each town. The results of these surveys across all three towns are outlined below:

• Car use: Car driver trips by residents fell 9% per person and car driver distance reduced by 5-7% (against a 1% fall in other comparable towns);

• Bus use: Bus trips per person grew by 10-22% compared with a fall of 0.5% in other medium-sized towns;

• Cycling: The number of cycle trips per person grew between 26-30%, whilst cycling declined in other urban areas;

• Walking: The number of walking trips per person grew by 10-13%, against a national trend of decline; and

• Travel Demand: The total number of trips per head reduced slightly.

5. The resultant change in mode shares in each of the three Sustainable Travel Towns is shown in Table 1 below.

Darlington Peterborough Worcester Mode 2004 2008 2004 2008 2004 2008 Walking 25% 29% 22% 25% 25% 28% Bicycle 1% 3% 5% 6% 3% 3% Motorcycle 0% 0% 1% 0% 0% 0% Car as 41% 37% 43% 39% 45% 42% driver Car as 21% 19% 23% 22% 21% 20% passenger

6. Other data was collected to compare against the travel survey results. This included counts of bus passengers and automatic and manual counts of cyclists, pedestrians and vehicles at selected locations within the town. This data is discussed in the following paragraphs, along with the travel survey results.

Car Use 7. Car driver trips per person reduced by 8-10% in Peterborough and Worcester and by 7-10% in Darlington. There was greater variation in the reduction in distance travelled ranging from a 7-10% reduction in Peterborough, a 6-7% reduction in Darlington and a 3% reduction in Worcester.

8. Traffic count data showed variable results with an overall reduction of 2% and more substantial reductions of 7-8% in inner areas. The difference can be explained by population growth in Peterborough and Worcester; employment growth in Darlington; journeys in the towns by non-residents; and possibly some induced traffic (i.e. new traffic due to greater available road space).

Bus Use 9. In Peterborough and Worcester overall bus use in the town increased between 2004/05 and 2008/09 by between 36-43% and 17-27% respectively. In Peterborough

about half of the growth is because of service restructuring, better information and integrated tickets and service enhancements. A further quarter of this growth can be attributed to personal travel planning. In Worcester, the mean reasons for the increase include marketing and fare initiatives, improvements to routes and personalised travel planning.

10. In Darlington, overall bus use in the town declined during the same period. This can be explained by competition between two major bus operators which meant it was difficult for the local authority to encourage bus use.

Cycling 11. Increases in cycling varied between the three towns. The household survey showed that in terms of trips per person, growth was between 10-17% in Peterborough, 11- 23% in Worcester and 89-113% in Darlington. Distance travelled increased between 76-112% in Darlington.

12. The higher level of growth in cycling in Darlington can be explained by Darlington being designated a Cycling Demonstration Town during the same period. This growth in cycling can be attributed to soft travel planning measures such as cycling events and initiatives and also to cycle infrastructure improvements.

Walking 13. The household survey suggests that in terms of the number of trips per person, growth in walking varied between 9% and 20% across all three towns. This can be explained by the effects of personal travel planning and travel awareness campaigns. In Darlington there was a specific increase in walking on routes to the town centre potentially due to closely spaced destinations.

Measures adopted in the towns 14. The strategies adopted in each town were quite similar. They included the following:

• Large scale personal travel planning programme (33%-46% of cost): Between 50-100% of households were targeted. Of the 41-69% successfully contacted, between 22% and 45% received a range of materials and advice to encourage sustainable travel;

• Development of a strong brand identity: All three towns developed a clear brand identity. In Darlington the programme was titled ‘Do the Local Motion,’ in Peterborough it was titled ‘Travelchoice’ and in Worcester it was called ‘Choose how you move.’ Each programme involved creating a steady stream of publicity and media coverage for their work;

• Travel awareness campaigns (14%-28% of cost): Travel information was distributed through outlets including community centres, libraries, shops, workplaces and schools; and also online via their websites; and in the press.

• Cycling and walking promotion (15%-23% of cost): This included production of cycling and walking information and maps; event such as cycling festivals guided walks; and cycle loan schemes. Branded walking and cycling routes and cycle signs were also experimented with.

• Public transport information and marketing (5%-11% of cost): Measures included information provision via households and at bus stops; colour- coded branding on vehicles, timetables and stops; ticketing integration through the introduction of multi-operator tickets; and improvements in service quality;

• School travel planning (2%-5% of cost): This covered 85% to 100% of primary pupils and 100% of secondary pupils;

• Workplace travel planning (1%-9% of cost): Workplace travel planning had engaged over 30% of the workforce by mid-2008. Support to employers included assistance in undertaking surveys; advice on developing a travel plan; grants for sustainable travel improvements; discounted bus ticket schemes; car share schemes; new bus services and cycle training.

15. Each programme required 6-10 full-time equivalent posts per annum.

Trends by Journey Purpose 16. The research found that the biggest reduction in car driver distance came from changes to leisure trips, then shopping and work-related business.

Commuter travel 17. Peterborough was the only town with a substantial amount of workplace travel survey data. Amongst the two-thirds of organisations successful in reducing car travel, the overall reduction in cars per 100 staff was 8.4%. Taking into account all organisations with a travel plan, this reduced to 3.5%. This is lower than previous research and it may be that in the case of Peterborough the low level of congestion and desire of the local authority to maintain high levels of car accessibility meant there was little ‘push’ to alternatives.

School travel 18. In all three towns, between 70-80% of schools demonstrated a decline in the number of pupils travelling to school by car. The overall reduction in car use for the journey to school was between 9-17%.

Behaviour Change 19. The research has identified three factors affecting the shift in travel patterns in each town. These are:

• Mode shift (with unchanged destination) • Mode shift (with different destination) • Trip evaporation (not making a trip at all) ` 20. This is supported by the emphasis placed on information about neighbourhood facilities (e.g. for shopping / leisure) through personal travel planning, which encouraged a certain amount of destination switching as people start using more local facilities instead of more distant ones.

21. The travel survey illustrated the following pattern with regards the reduction in car trips: • 20% reduction for journeys less than 1 km; • 15% reduction for journeys between 1-3km; • 10% reduction for journeys between 3-5km; • 5% reduction for journeys between 5-10km; and • 3% reduction for journeys between 10-50km.

22. The 5-7% reduction in car driver distance is largely accounted for by reductions in medium and longer distance trips. For example, 45% of the reduction in car driver kilometres came from trips of 10-50km.

23. The report notes that the biggest behaviour change occurred amongst groups who were at a point of change in their lives (e.g. at college, looking for work, 66-70 year olds or recently retired). Car driver trips fell least amongst those groups who used their cars more intensively (e.g. 41-45 year olds).

Lessons learnt from the Sustainable Travel Towns 24. Experience from the Sustainable Travel Towns has suggested the following learning points for similar programmes:

• The importance of planning for a long-term programme: programmes need to be least five years to achieve meaningful results

• Engagement with stakeholders and elected members: stakeholders should include the primary care trust, cycling organisations and public transport operators

• Clear strategic direction: a vision of success, strong priorities, defined deliverables and a realistic implementation plan

• The right governance structure: a senior management champion or advocate at officer level is vital so that a steering group can be established to provide leadership and oversight

• Complementary measures for traffic reduction: without measures to restrain car use, there is a risk that the benefits could be eroded by induced traffic

• Targeting specific modes: focusing resources on a particular mode, e.g. cycling in Darlington, achieves results

• Soft measures are most effective accompanied by improvements in quality: for example, in addition to soft measures, bus patronage in Peterborough increased with service enhancements and cycling increased in Darlington with improvements to cycle infrastructure.

Pinewood Studios Ltd Pinewood Community Trave l Plan Framework

Executive Summary Pinewood Studios Limited (PSL) is committed to the sustainable development of Pinewood and to the promotion of sustainable travel initiatives both for the new development and Pinewood Studios. Pinewood offers a real opportunity to influence and promote sustainable travel to and from the new development, Pinewood Studios and the neighbouring community of Iver Heath by providing a wider range of sustainable travel options for all. A core component of the proposals is to develop a Travel Plan framework for the site that can be taken forward to develop a full Travel Plan as the scheme progresses and as the final occupiers become known. This Community Travel Plan framework sets out aims and objectives, provides useful background information and suggests a range of transport related measures that will be implemented at Pinewood under the close supervision of a Travel Plan Co-ordinator, in support of promoting more sustainable travel to and from the site. The final Community Travel Plan, which will follow the principles set out in this document, will seek to engage residents, staff and visitors to Pinewood and Pinewood Studios and manage a range of initiatives, relating to improved infrastructure, services and behavioural change. A fully detailed and comprehensive Community Travel Plan will be prepared as the proposals progress and this framework forms a sound basis for this whilst representing PSL’s long term commitment to Pinewood and the surrounding communities and to maintaining its sustainable transport credentials.

Signed

Ivan Dunleavy Chief Executive
