Kerbside Diaries Travel Data and Kerbside Culture Pilot Project

Smartphone technology collects experiential data on sustainable journeys, which is used to engage people locally to start conversations about kerbside culture, travel choices and how journeys could be more efficient, attractive, accessible, healthy and fun. The findings of the pilot project can be integrated into schools and community groups to explore sustainable travel and kerbside culture and influence local decision making.

April 2015 - Planning for it now

The council has been working in Leicestershire on our next target areas. We have mainstreamed Smarter Travel and submitted our programmes for both Capital and Revenue spend for the next four years under the ‘Plan, Prepare, Do’ model.

The Train, Learn, Drive, Earn programme helps unemployed people in Greater Manchester access training and work experience, as a volunteer driver or member of support staff, at participating community transport operators. The scheme targets unemployed individuals, who, once trained, will have skills that can be transferred to roles within the same or other organisations, both in the sector and beyond.

Slough’s new cycle hire scheme has just been launched. This session will overview of the initiative, its aims and objectives, the involvement of partners including NEETs (young people not in eductation, employment or training) in the maintenance and re-distribution of the bikes. While too early to present ‘outcomes’ we will present early anecdotal evidence and usage figures.

Bike Back Derby Fixing bikes and gaining skills in Derby Presenter Adam Sendall, LSTF Programme Coordinator, Derby City Council The scheme provides affordable refurbished bikes to local people in Derby to help them access work, education, training and other facilities by bike. Donations of abandoned or unwanted bicycles are transferred to HMP Stocken, and refurbished by the inmates. The bikes are then sold to individuals who cannot afford the cost of a new bike.

Active Travel Walking and Cycling initiatives 11 Are you Winter Ready?

15 Working with public health to increase active travel

20 Cycle Coventry: Building effective health partnerships

Bryn Dowson, Sustrans’ Regional Director, North East

Richard Smith, Cycle Coventry Smarter Choices Coordinator, Coventry City Council

Sustrans is working with local authorities in Newcastle, Gateshead, Sunderland, North Tyneside, South Tyneside and Durham to encourage children and families to walk and cycle for everyday trips. This LSTF-funded project is a partnership with the local public health team, and builds on a pilot, which was commissioned by the Director of Public Health for North Tyneside.

Smarter choices are healthy, but are we doing enough to tackle health inequalities? Cycle Coventry is responding to this challenge by developing interventions in partnership with public health colleagues. Ask not what Public Health can do for you, but what you can do for the health of your city.

21 Motivating businesses to consider sustainable travel

16 The Walk to School Outreach Project

Nicola Appleby, LSTF Comms Lead, TfGM

Jenni Wiggle, Living Streets

In Autumn 2013 TfGM launched the Are You Winter Ready? campaign, to reinforce the message that cycling to work can be a year-round activity. Using a varied marketing mix, and tying it in with business-as-usual activities, the campaign supports commuter cycling initiatives, such as TfGM’s cycle training offer and network of Cycle Hubs.

The Walk to School Outreach Project is a partnership of 11 local authorities, led by Durham County Council. We audit the local street from the perspective of the children. We take teachers, pupils and parents on a walkabout around their school and ask them to identify barriers to walking and how to tackle them.

12 Community-led street design

Liam Potts, Business Travel Advisor, TfGM Kellogg’s is a large employer based in the heart of Trafford Park, Manchester, Europe’s largest business park.

Engagement - Partnership working 22 Integrating road safety and sustainable travel messages

James Cleeton, Sustrans’ National Project Coordinator, Communities The aim of this project is to inspire and support the residents of Hamp, South Bridgwater, to redesign their urban environment to make it safer and more attractive for everyday walking and cycling. This, in turn, will help remove the barriers relating to access to work and educational opportunities, change resident’s attitudes towards walking and cycling, and create a culture of participation within the ward.

This creates a comprehensive and recognisable system, which is now being rolled out across the city and surrounding areas.

Sheffield’s City Council’s Road Safety Team work with businesses, training organisations and apprenticeship programmes to deliver road safety presentations across Sheffield. The LSTF funds have enabled us to incorporate sustainable travel messages into eco-driving and show how to make better use of public transport as an alternative. Combining both sets of messages is more attractive to business.

We have been actively engaging with schools for over a year as part of the LSTF programme. The case study looks at the identification of priority schools to engage with as part of the programme on how to keep schools engaged. It also discusses travel initiatives which have been successful and less successful and monitoring of the impact of the programme. .

18 Travel Support for Jobseekers, Creating Travel Champions Gareth Hughes, Travel Support for Jobseekers, TfGM

The council has developed an off-road walking and cycling route connecting to the university campus, business district and additional works through the Regional Growth Fund.

Monitoring & Evaluation 24 LSTF impacts on rural economy and tourism - Drive less, emit less, spend more? Helen Tate & Alistair Kirkbride, Cumbria Tourism and Lake District National Park Why is it worth investing in visitor travel? We’re breaking new ground finding out how far visitor travel behaviour can shift. This forces us to ask new questions about how we evaluate behaviour change. So, come along and ask yourself whether you travel differently on holiday, and whether this might change how you look at day-to-day travel.

28 Supermodals Social Media Campaign – Lessons learned

4 92

Paula McGivern, Hereford County Council Who are the Supermodals? Why do promoters of active travel need them? Who has used the campaign and what have we learned? How much does it cost? Should government fund social media campaigns like this in the next LSTF round?

29 Connecting Wiltshire Personalised Travel Planning Laura Gosling, Wiltshire Council

25 Monitoring the success of Swindon travel choice interventions Claire Flemming, Swindon Travel Choices, Swindon Borough Council Swindon has been working on its LSTF programme and investing a lot of time evaluating various initiatives in order to learn what has worked and what can be improved in the future. This case study will cover: - The Swindon “Rounds” – self guided circular routes for walking and cycling - Cost effectiveness of various media outlets - Bus smartcard trial - Social media campaigns

Marketing & Communications 26 Connect Tees Valley bus campaign Darlington Borough Council Sheli Smith, DIVA creative We undertook research with young people in the Tees Valley area to understand their perceptions of, and attitudes towards bus travel. Using this, we created an integrated online and offline targeted advertising campaign to raise awareness of the bus travel information available on the Connect Tees Valley website. Our campaign created an 89% increase in monthly unique visitors to ConnectTeesValley.com compared to the same period of June to Sept in 2012, and Connect Tees Valley facebook page “likes” increased by 51%.

27 Branding for smarter travel Vicky Doyle, Hampshire County Council The ‘My Journey’ brand has been adopted by six neighbouring councils in the south of England. This shared identity promotes a variety of transport options to local residents and businesses. The brand offers a strong and simple proposition that is easily recognised in and around the Hampshire area.

This PTP programme encourages more people to use sustainable modes of transport, especially rail and to reduce the need to travel. The project is run in four towns and in each town the intervention has a specific theme to help test the approach. These include: assessing the segmentation priority ranking, existing community versus new development, combining residential and business PTP.

The Speed Learning session takes place at 15.40 in the Great Hall on Day 1 The 30 case studies will be presented simultaniously at ‘bar tables’ marked by numbered balloons, in SIX x 12 minute sessions. The case studies will be short presentations followed by discussion.

30 Changing behaviour at key transition points Phil Wright, Engagement & Support Services Manager, LSTF West of England Habits are formed quickly and difficult to break. Experience and emerging research show that key life transitions points are when habits can be broken. We aim to change travel habits when people move house, get a job or start training, go to university and when children move from primary to secondary education.

A horn will be sounded when it is time to change tables.
