These range from modellers to marketers, data analysts, public consultation experts, micromobility operators and designers and consultants. We hope that you find the directory useful and encourage you to share it with colleagues across local authority departments to supercharge your projects.

Extra copies can be ordered, in print and digital formats, so please get in touch and let us know your requirements.

Lots has happened since we published the first edition of the Active Travel Directory in 2020. Government continues its commitment to cycling, wheeling and walking, and an updated Cycling & Walking Investment Strategy (CWIS 2) reinforces ambitions to see 50% of all journeys in towns and cities walked, wheeled or cycled as the natural and convenient choice by 2030, supported with £2 billion of funding.

The publication of Gear Change in 2020 set out a vision to make England a great walking, wheeling and cycling nation, putting policy emphasis on better and safer streets for active modes. It stated that walking and cycling should be prioritised at the heart of decisionmaking, so empowering local authorities to embed active travel options in all transport policies.

The creation of Active Travel England will ensure that the highest design and planning standards are set and delivered, and will help local authorities to achieve the vision set out in Gear Change.

Despite all this, recent figures published by the Department for Transport have seen a drop in cycling levels since record peaks in 2020. Numerous projects have been rolled back or watered down in the face of controversy led by a small, but highly vocal, minority. The challenges ahead are clear and often complicated, but support is available. This directory is a comprehensive reference that will help local authorities, and all those tasked with taking forward active travel schemes, to identify the resources they need for successful delivery.

ACTIVE TRAVEL MODELLING & APPRAISAL

Sponsored by:

SYSTRA has created two active travel tools – both were successfully given R&D funding though its companywide intrapreneur programme SPARK Challenge, which encourages specialist teams to create innovative solutions for industry problems

Alternative tools: active travel modelling & appraisal

Effective cycling infrastructure must be high priority if we are to meet our commitment to net zero. A lack of cycling demand data, poor representation of network performance and a limited ability to monetise scheme benefits makes it difficult for planners to assess options, justify investment and engage stakeholders, says SYSTRA’s David Alderson

A spectrum of tools is available ‘off the shelf’ for assessing cycling infrastructure. These range from 2D spreadsheets such as the Department for Transport’s Active Modes Appraisal Toolkit (AMAT), to exciting 3D multimodal models with cycling representations such as Transportfor London’s Cynemon.

AMAT is the standard tool for assessing the economic benefits of active travel schemes and, whilst quick and familiar, tends to significantly understate the full range of benefits delivered from a scheme.

For cycling, the derived benefits in AMAT are largely driven by an assumed change in the number of cyclists from a particular scheme. More moderate benefits are then delivered to existing users where there has been a change in the quality of cycling infrastructure. However, there are simply too few benefits related to mode shift and the associated emissions, noise and safety outcomes.

AMAT assesses stand-alone cycle schemes, but does not pick up competing modes, routes or the size of any untapped cycle demand. This disconnect between the quality of interventions and the assumed cycle shift encourages lower build quality and low priority measures. Conversely, while multimodal models like

Cynemon accommodate these considerations, they can be very expensive, time-consuming and ultimately rely on an AMAT-like ‘benefit calculation’ means for appraisal.

The number of existing and potential future users of cycle schemes are generally derived from the Propensity to Cycle Tool (PCT), which categorises census-derived commute cycle trips according to hilliness and trip distance and subsequently provides a range of uplift scenarios, but does not directly relate these back to the quality of scheme in question.

Realising the above, SYSTRA has created two alternative tools. Both were successfully given R&D funding though its companywide intrapreneur programme SPARK Challenge, which encourages specialist teams to create innovative solutions for industry problems.

The team members who have developed these tools are David Alderson, Ian Burden and Chris Donaldson. We want to know what you think, so get in touch today! dalderson@systra.com

The ‘Business Case’ Sandbox

At SYSTRA we have developed the Business Case Sandbox, which aims to approximate the base level of cycling in line with the methodology used in multi-modal models, and a cycling uplift rate which considers the perceived benefit (in time) of improved infrastructure or re-routeing. We think this provides much more accurate and specific cycling uplifts than the broad-base PCT method.

The Sandbox will pick up a far wider range of other benefits including road safety, mental health, journey ambiance and local economic benefits.

Accurate, trusted and reliable assumptions are necessary for any business case, so it’s a challenge to describe benefits around ambiance, health and mode shift when in reality these are hyper-local and often changeable. To this end, and given the fact that investment in active travel schemes tends to deliver significant benefits regardless of which assumptions are used, the Sandbox has been built to run a ‘Monte Carlo’ simulation of randomly assigned assumptions (within a reasonable range), rather than using a few carefully chosen cases.

To run a scenario, the Sandbox simply requires a set of inputs that calculate a set of outputs. The illustrated Monte Carlo approach utilised Excel VBA to quickly run through up to 1,000 iterations with a range of assumption inputs.

This approach allows other varied inputs to be added, for example pessimistic to optimistic cost estimates and more intensive versus less intensive levels of intervention.

The Sandbox can also analyse the level of cycling uplift that would be needed to produce a good Cost-Benefit Ratio for the scheme, which can then be used as a benchmark for success.

Evaluation of Cycle Scheme impacts

Watch this space! We are developing a brand new tool using Open Street Map (OSM) and elevation data yielding a network on which infrastructure schemes can be overlaid and evaluated. It will use cycle demand data derived from several different sources including census and existing travel survey data, combined with an estimation of the existing cycling mode share compared to all journeys that could feasibly be done by bike.

Our tool uses the type of road crossings on the OSM to determine the perceived cycle travel time for each link. This is affected by the type of road, levels of cycle segregation and assumptions applied using adaptable parameters accounting for influences such as road surface, speed limit and gradients.

A GIS component makes it incredibly flexible; it can be adapted to different demand zoning systems and linked to other available data sources.

The tool does not require a direct link between the zone and networks, this allows several nearby network nodes to form the start or end of a journey.

We have been busy testing the tool in different cities and districts to check how it adapts to different local scenarios and network definitions.

By applying the impact of various scheme interventions, our new tool will predict the change in perceived travel time, changes in expected cycling demand along with the re-routing of existing cycling journeys. These outputs will then feed in to the business case Sandbox to allow all benefits to be calculated.

Cycling for everyone across the West Midlands

The Transport for West Midlands Cycling for Everyone programme is community-led, and is being delivered in some of the most deprived areas across the region. This gives communities the chance to try cycling as an everyday form of transport, says Laura Marshall

In April 2022, ITP was appointed to support Transport for West Midlands (TfWM) with the Cycling for Everyone programme, assisting with project management. I was seconded to TfWM during the mobilisation phase and has worked with colleagues in the Cycling and Walking team to ensure the programme evolves and is progressing towards meeting its targets.

TfWM has a vision to realise the full potential of cycling’s contribution to the health and wealth of the West Midlands, and to raise levels of cycling across the West Midlands Metropolitan area to 5% of all trips by 2023.

The Commonwealth Games presented a unique opportunity to help deliver on this vision by encouraging people to be more physically active and to enjoy cycling as a way to get around whilst staying active. This led to the development of the Cycling for Everyone programme.

Evidence from the 2021 Walking and Cycling Index shows that there are disparities in the spread of people cycling. The Cycling for Everyone programme is being delivered in some of the most deprived areas across the region to give communities the chance to try cycling as an everyday form of transport. The programme aims to support those on lower incomes, the BAME community, women, and people with disabilities.

The Cycling for Everyone programme is community-led, meaning that communities essentially pick and choose which services they want implemented in their area. We provide the options, and they decide what they want delivered based on local knowledge and levels of demand.

The suite of services available include:

l Adult and child cycle training

l Bike maintenance training

l Ride leader and volunteer training

l A free bike giveaway, subsidised cycle hire minutes, and adapted cycle loans

l Led rides

l School and workplace travel challenges

Since the programme engages with some of the most deprived areas in the region, delivery is targeted at very particular communities and forms a crucial part of the eligibility criteria for those taking part in the programme.

Collaboration is key

Throughout the process, we have worked with the seven local authorities across the West Midlands to understand what is already being delivered in their respective areas, and where there may be gaps in provision.

It was also important to gather insight into local contacts and community groups that could be approached to offer the range of services.

With this knowledge, potential sites for delivery were also identified, and it was possible to see how the Cycling for Everyone programme could complement other ongoing behaviour change work, such as that being promoted through the Local Authority Capability Fund.

Collaboration was key to ensure messaging was clear and to avoid any confusion from individuals and organisations involved.

What does the Cycling for Everyone programme look like today?

With Cycling for Everyone drawing to a close at the end of November 2023, delivery is well underway. TfWM, along with the two suppliers appointed to deliver cycling services, have worked with a range of local groups to build relationships and to understand what it is they want implemented. These include youth groups, women-only groups, community centres, leisure centres, schools and workplaces.

The community-led focus has meant that there needs to be greater flexibility in the services provided and brings insight into what people want delivered on the ground.

Active Travel Directory 2023 28

This knowledge can be used to help shape future funding programmes as it provides a stronger understanding of what communities want implemented – from the bottom up – and how they envisage it making a positive difference to local people. Survey data is being collected before and/or during every activity, and follow-up surveys will be conducted in the future to establish any changes in travel behaviour and attitudes towards cycling.

Looking ahead

There will be a number of lessons to be learnt from the implementation of the Cycling for Everyone programme. Its unique design, involving a bottom-up approach, presents a real opportunity to apply lessons learnt in the delivery of successful behaviour change programmes in the future.

As new funding is set to be released in the coming months, for example the Local Authority Capability and Ambition Fund, there will be a continued push to meet local and national strategic

objectives for walking and cycling. ITP has a specialist team of experts in the design, delivery, and evaluation of behaviour change programmes across a range of contexts and locations.

Our focus is on promoting cycling and walking for different trips to those people most amenable to change their travel behaviours based on market segmentation principles, with a keen focus on carbon reduction benefits.

This includes co-designing approaches that stimulate a change in travel behaviour, and the delivery of bespoke programmes that effectively engage each target audience identified with an agreed programme of interventions and campaigns. n

How do we deliver on Active Travel?

At Atkins, that’s the question many of our clients are asking us. First, let’s break down the devolved strategies.

England: Five years ago, the first ever Cycling and Walking Investment Strategy (CWIS) set the framework. It outlined ambitious plans to make walking and cycling the natural choice for short journeys and a key part of longer journeys by 2040, backed up by a promised £1bn of investment. A lot has happened since then…

There remains an unabated enthusiasm for making active travel the common thread across multiple aspects of government policy. Two years ago, the Prime Minister announced £5bn funding for Active Travel alongside public transport. Soon after, the Active Travel Fund kicked into gear to preserve the longer-term ambitions for policy and enable social distancing during the Covid pandemic. Subsequently, Gear Change

and LTN1/20 seek to reinvigorate the ambition.

Whilst Active Travel has dedicated ring-fenced funding, it’s also a fundamental part of funding opportunities, made available through the Future High Streets, Levelling Up, the Towns Fund and, more recently, the City Region Sustainable Transport Settlements. The Government estimates it has invested £3.2bn in Active Travel over the first CWIS period from 2017 to 2021, across all funds.

The second CWIS, issued this summer, sets out ambitions until 2025, alongside the formation of Active Travel England, and its role is to drive higher standards and establish stakeholder accountability.

The next 12 months will set the basis for what it can achieve in the longer term. The application of Gear Change and LTN1/20 will test the public and political appetite, due to the inevitable

Faced with a complex series of devolved strategies and policies, multiple stakeholders, pressure on budgets and competing priorities, how do we deliver on Active Travel, asks Simon Jay

compromises that will need to be made to provide a step change in the quality of walking and cycling infrastructure.

Wales: Wales took a bold step in introducing the Active Travel (Wales) Act in 2013, placing a duty on local authorities to improve facilities for pedestrians and cyclists.

Since then, the publication of the Active Travel Act Guidance, alongside the Welsh Transport Strategy 2021, has delivered a seismic shift in funding to support the aims and objectives of the Act. For Wales, it’s clear that Active Travel is at the top of the sustainable transport hierarchy.

Scotland: The Scottish Government wants to enable walking, cycling and wheeling to be the default choices for everyday journeys by placing active travel at the heart of transport spending commitments.

The National Transport Strategy sets a bold 20-year direction, backed by traffic reduction and active travel delivery commitments in the emerging Strategic Transport Projects Review 2. Together with the requirements contained in guidance such as Cycling by Design, these initiatives provide transport and planning bodies with the impetus to deliver. They will help make Scottish towns and cities more liveable and safer and improve accessibility for people of all ages and abilities.

The golden threads

So, given this context, what are the golden threads that will enable making a real difference with Active Travel? Based on the pointers from the policy and guidance documents, we would suggest there needs to be a proper focus on five critical areas:

l A multi-disciplinary approach to make the best case for investment, release funding and ultimately deliver the greatest impact.

l Embedding truly inclusive design to provide a step change in Active Travel infrastructure for those ‘8 to 80 years old and beyond’ and comply with the 2010 Equality Act.

l Embedding conservation, heritage, biodiversity net gain and climate resilience into solutions to create the most welcoming environment for all users, irrespective of the spatial context.

l Creating a compelling evidence base to develop a robust case for reallocating space to active travel from other uses; one capable of withstanding the inevitable pressures that will come to water down or remove key components from schemes.

l Developing a comprehensive stakeholder engagement strategy to ‘lock in’ consensus and approvals at every stage and continually target conversations on the things that matter most. This will help to mitigate the passionate opposition from some local voices to more cycle infrastructure, lowtraffic neighbourhoods and school streets.

Putting Active Travel at the heart of placemaking

Developing a comprehensive approach that delivers the policy and strategic outcomes desired will require local authorities to put Active Travel at the ‘heart of transport, placemaking, the race to net zero carbon and health planning’.

At Atkins, we understand that managing the various competing priorities of communities and enabling the transformation of spaces for active travel is vital to success. We bring a multi-disciplinary skillset that embeds inclusivity in design, attracts funding and establishes robust business cases through a collaborative approach. Collaboration that brings local communities and stakeholders together around a common aim.

We help our clients ‘lock in’ consensus and approvals at every stage and target conversations on the things that matter… creating happier, healthier, greener and safer streets for their citizens and the communities they serve. n

Inspiring the next generation to shape the future of active travel

At Atkins, we don’t just work with local authorities and transport bodies. We believe that you need to encourage the next generation of walkers, cyclists and micromobility users to want to change their behaviours. By inspiring them to understand the benefits using active travel solutions can deliver. Those benefits start with nurturing a mindset that appreciates the positive impact that active travel has on the climate, well-being and individual health. That’s why our active travel STEM programme engages with schools and children, educating them on the benefits and inspiring the next generation to embrace active travel as a part of their future. atkinsglobal.com

This shift towards outdoor spaces has paved the way for more parklets, with hundreds being installed in London alone over the past year.

We were delighted that two of our installations were awarded the UK's 1st Accredited Mobility Hubs by COMO. We need to adapt the space for low carbon Mobility Hubs containing seating, planting, electric charge points for cars and e-bikes and cycle parking. We are working with several organisations to roll out more Hubs across the UK.

Specialising in cycling behaviour change, Love to Ride are a Bristol-based global team who believe that life is better when more people ride bikes. Their popular online platforms, year-round local programmes and engaging seasonal campaigns have successfully encouraged, supported and monitored cycling since 2007.

The Love to Ride approach is successful because:

l Behaviour change sits at its core and is woven throughout - successfully engaging new, occasional and regular riders alike

l It is laser-focussed on the single active travel mode of cycling, eliciting the best possible results and longest-term change

l It offers excellent value for money by delivering rich, ongoing, year-round programmes that are inclusive and accessible

By understanding real & perceived barriers and motivators at the individual level, Love to Ride engages participants with targeted support, guidance, encouragement and incentives. This broad approach positively impacts changes in behaviour, increasing cycling frequencies and ultimately replacing car journeys.

Coupled with monitoring and research to measure progress and evidence outcomes, Love to Ride’s programming and achievements are unique and unrivalled.

The new Love to Ride app, already available on iOS, with an Android launch planned for 2023, is an exciting development for the sector. Its automated trip-logging technology automatically captures all journeys by bike (as well as other movement data), overlaying it with participant demographics. This information improves understanding of behaviours within project areas and provides valuable opportunities to create positive and lasting behaviour change.

Love to Ride has worked successfully with Councils, Combined Authorities and Transport Authority partners from Gloucestershire to Glasgow, Shetland to Southampton and London to Lancashire. Since 2007, Love to Ride have successfully accessed funding from Central Government Departments such as DfT, DoH and Active Travel England, as well as Public Health, Clean Air Zones, Climate Change and Innovations grants.

To find out more about how Love to Ride will complement your existing active travel and cycling initiatives, bringing cycling infrastructure planning and development to life with behavioural change and rich data, please get in touch for an informal chat and exploratory session.

Place-based tools to make 10,000 steps a day possible

The health benefits of walking as a preventative activity are well publicised, with research identifying 10,000 steps a day as the ideal number. Integrating exercise in daily lifestyles and routines through active commuting would seem to make 10,000 steps an achievable goal. It is estimated by Transport for London that if all Londoners were to walk (or cycle) 20 minutes a day it could save the NHS £1.7b in treatment costs over 25 years, according to the 2017 Healthy Streets for London plan. There is potential however for even greater benefits, since 20 minutes per day is on average just under 2,500 steps a day, significantly less than 10,000!

In 2022, the UK government tasked local authorities with increasing levels of walking to work as an environmentally friendly, health-conscious, preferred mode of travel. The postCOVID period offered the perfect opportunity to try to change people’s behaviour as they transitioned to a ‘new normal’.

To succeed in getting more people to walk to work, local authorities need to ensure that the factors which hinder an individual’s decision to walk to work are removed or mitigated. This involves making sure that people live within walking distance of work, that their town or city is convenient to walk around, that they have the time to undertake the walk, and that they are in good enough health to walk comfortably.

So how can a local authority influence someone’s decision to walk to work, when this is affected by so many changeable variables which, like the weather, they obviously cannot control?

Space Syntax modelling and analysis, developed over the last 30 years, demonstrates how the built environment – the street, pedestrian and public transport networks, land uses and densities –can make certain activities possible or impossible.

These techniques have been used to develop a Walkability Index across Great Britain which shows, at the level of the individual building, how the surrounding environment makes walking possible (see image opposite page, top left).

Space Syntax’s Walkability Index has been validated against walk to work mode share across England’s 330 Local Authorities and almost 7,000 Middle Layer Super Output Areas (MSOAs). It can be combined with census or other datasets held at different geographies. This enables areas of higher risk to be revealed, for example less walkable parts of a city with populations who may be older and less able to walk, or places with high levels of economic deprivation but fewer jobs accessible via active modes or public transport.

Places with higher potential for walking

So, why aren’t people walking more when the conditions seem right for them to do so? Space Syntax analysis can tell local authorities which places are less likely to need large-scale, costly infrastructure projects to encourage people to walk to work – and, importantly, those that will.

Active Travel Directory 2023 70
Aside from generating benefits to the individual, increasing walking creates wider benefits to society, helping to address climate change, stimulating local economies and reducing public health spend, says Ed Parham

Public sector decision makers can determine the best type of intervention in an area, be it a ‘nudge’-style public health campaign to encourage active travel, or a service improvement such as enhanced public transport or a physical change to hard infrastructure, such as a new bike lane.

Recently, Space Syntax revealed the places in England with the highest potential to increase levels of walking to work. By combining the Walkability Index with socio-economic and demographic datasets, places that already have the conditions in place to enable more walking were identified – these are shown in the map (above right).

Points from blue to red show areas that score from low to high on the Walkability Index, red areas have the physical conditions in place to support higher levels of walking and may be suitable for behaviour-change campaigns, while blue areas require improvement to the built environment.

Evidence-based quick wins

LINE/IUM can support the development of coordinated interventions for each of the disciplines involved in shaping or responding to the impacts of the built environment.

Public health practitioners: The value of this spatial analysis is that, while it describes the built environment consistently, it can also be combined with additional datasets including demographic/socio-economic characteristics or actual activity data. This makes it possible to identify mismatches where there may be highly walkable areas, but low numbers of people walking. In these areas, interventions need to be shaped by local teams but a consistent dataset, validated against actual walking behaviour, means that multiple, different areas can be compared on a like-for-

like basis, and that behaviour change campaigns can be targeted and coordinated alongside plans for physical change.

Transport planners: Planners can use the tools developed by Space Syntax to better identify where the built environment already supports higher active mode shares, then to ensure that transport networks serve these areas. When developing or improving active travel networks, the tools can be used to quickly identify the specific routes most likely to be used by people walking or cycling. For masterplanners, urban designers and architects working within local planning policy, key design parameters for walkability can be defined using the Space Syntax tools. The tools can be used to quickly assess the spatial structure of development proposals.

Town planners: For town planners developing policy, insight from these tools can be used to consider the suitability of sites when allocating housing growth. Identifying that a site is located in an unwalkable area and is poorly connected to wider settlements means it is likely to rely more on private car use.

Access to Space Syntax’s Walkability Index and LINE/IUM tool, as well as the learnings generated by them, can enable multiple professional disciplines and local authority departments to develop coordinated strategies which combine soft and hard interventions around shared, validated, data.

Supporting collaboration between public health, transport, urban design, landscape design and town planning practitioners not only increases the chances of successfully delivering multiple policy objectives and positive outcomes, but can also make better use of public funding. n

Specialising in cycling behaviour change, Love to Ride are a Bristol-based global team who believe that life is better when more people ride bikes. Their popular online platforms, year-round local programmes and engaging seasonal campaigns have successfully encouraged, supported and monitored cycling since 2007.

The Love to Ride approach is successful because:

l Behaviour change sits at its core and is woven throughout - successfully engaging new, occasional and regular riders alike

l It is laser-focussed on the single active travel mode of cycling, eliciting the best possible results and longest-term change

l It offers excellent value for money by delivering rich, ongoing, year-round programmes that are inclusive and accessible

By understanding real & perceived barriers and motivators at the individual level, Love to Ride engages participants with targeted support, guidance, encouragement and incentives. This broad approach positively impacts changes in behaviour, increasing cycling frequencies and ultimately replacing car journeys.

Coupled with monitoring and research to measure progress and evidence outcomes, Love to Ride’s programming and achievements are unique and unrivalled.

The new Love to Ride app, already available on iOS, with an Android launch planned for 2023, is an exciting development for the sector. Its automated trip-logging technology automatically captures all journeys by bike (as well as other movement data), overlaying it with participant demographics. This information improves understanding of behaviours within project areas and provides valuable opportunities to create positive and lasting behaviour change.

Love to Ride has worked successfully with Councils, Combined Authorities and Transport Authority partners from Gloucestershire to Glasgow, Shetland to Southampton and London to Lancashire. Since 2007, Love to Ride have successfully accessed funding from Central Government Departments such as DfT, DoH and Active Travel England, as well as Public Health, Clean Air Zones, Climate Change and Innovations grants.

To find out more about how Love to Ride will complement your existing active travel and cycling initiatives, bringing cycling infrastructure planning and development to life with behavioural change and rich data, please get in touch for an informal chat and exploratory session.

PARKLETS & GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE

Sponsored by:

Meristem Design is an award-winning design company creating bespoke green solutions for commercial, public realm and residential spaces.

We offer a 360 degree service to cater for all stages and all sizes of projects. From design conception to regular maintenance visits.

Parklets are intended to provide space for people to sit, relax and enjoy the city around them, providing aesthetic enhancement to the overall streetscape. By not requiring a permanent concrete base, Parklets are a much faster and less expensive way for the City to bring improvements to a neighbourhood.

We design, fabricate, and install a wide range of planters in different shapes, sizes and materials. They bring vibrancy and life to dull spaces.

Designed to manage rainwater run-off by allowing trees and plants to absorb and clean the water. They reduce the risk of flooding in the sewer network and improves water quality to our streams and rivers.

Instant privacy greening that improves our day to day air quality and contributes to the local biodiversity.

Meristem Design is an award-winning design company creating bespoke green solutions for commercial, public realm and residential spaces through green screens, living walls, parklets, custom planters, rain gardens, SuDS and biophilic design.

Our team of designers and horticulturists, driven by a passion for plants, are on a mission to bring more green into our world, whether it’s at home, in the office or on our commute. We are committed to making the grey green.

Parklets can serve as an important focal point when transforming streets from car dominated environments to community hubs, says Habib Khan – Founder and Director at Meristem Design. This shift towards outdoor spaces has paved the way for more parklets, with hundreds being installed in London alone over the past year.

We were delighted that two of our installations were awarded the UK's 1st Accredited Mobility Hubs by COMO. We need to adapt the space for low carbon Mobility Hubs containing seating, planting, electric charge points for cars and e-bikes and cycle parking. We are working with several organisations to roll out more Hubs across the UK.

We believe the future of sustainable transport is the Mobility Hubs and Meristem Design is on a mission to lead the way.
