Walking and Cycling

  • Applying ADONIS lessons on transferring short trips to sustainable modes, to Britain.

Cycling

  • Cycling, Gender and Critical Mass [pdf, 176kb]
  • Modelling cycling accessibility to Stratford in 2012
  • Development of attitudinal surveys for TfL
  • Analysis of the demographics and motivating factors within the near-market for cycling in Greater London

Business Cases for Cycling

  • Technical advisor to the LIP monitoring group set up by TfL and the Association of London Government [ALG], to develop a set of techniques to monitor Borough Spending Plans and Local Implementation Plans, the London equivalent of LTPs, with specific responsibility for providing guidance to TfL and the boroughs on the monitoring of cycling, walking, accessibility and general traffic. As part of that programme we developed procedures for setting up robust before-and-after monitoring of schemes which will be of use to many local authorities across the country
  • Setting ambitious and realistic targets for London's Cycle Action Plan, based on international benchmarking, including trajectories, annual milestones, and an annual review mechanism to amend targets if progress diverges significantly from trajectory
