Transport task 2021
Shift away from predict and provide to decide and provide model
- Policy and planning changes can reduce the assumed future traffic growth of private vehicles and therefore the business case for many road projects will not stack up. The unbounded future traffic growth is not a given that needs to be accepted.
Decarbonizing transport
- frameworks used to implement national reduction targets
- mix of policies,, prices and projects
- unknown initiatives are required
- development of carbon budget at all levels of government and within programs to meet overall requirements > inform transport budget
- Reducing
Focus on sustainable, resilient, equitable transport systems supported by social, physical, economic and information infrastructure.
Sustainable integrated land-use and transport policies
- Urban sprawl > high PV > environmental, social, economic consequences
- PAT mode to trip ends/attractors within community
- Integrated land use transport planning - investments in dense and human scale cities - development planning policy
-
-
-
Demand management:
- Avoid PV trips: mixed use development, WFH
- Shift PV trips: encourage other modes such as PAT, shift to EVs, MaaS role in this
- Sharing: Lower car ownership in population
- Improving: Technology to improve transport modes (EVs in PV and PT), make infrastructure smarter, impacts of autonomous vehicles in modelling
- pricing policy instruments
Disruptive mobility and digital innovations
- E-scooter micromobility
- Car share
- MaaS and useability/accesibility of alternatives to non car modes
- Vehicle electriication- PV, PT (bus and rail), AT
- Smart Infrastructure/IOT
- Blockchain
- Air travel / hyperloop
- WFH and Teleconferencing improvements
- Increase online shopping
- AV and increased network capacity from current infrastructure
- Improved analytics using video footage
Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) - smart technologies - optimize capacity of our existing infrastructure
- enhance connectivity between infrastructure elements and city management systems (urban sensors etc)
- Much better value for money than new infrastructure
Transport modelling improvement requirements
- More access to data > how to best utilize improved projects
- Refinement of assumptions about population growth, induced demand, expansion factors
- Behaviour change induced by covid-19 - remote working, living locally (shopping, exercise), kids walk to school
More holistic and improved project evaluation and funding grants
- Move away from economic appraisal and CBA to MCA including qualitative benefits
- Quantify emission impact of projects
- Quantify health impacts of projects more - induced physical activity, air quality, noise quality
- Refocus on intervention staging:
- Land use planning > travel demand management > improve/better use existing infrastructure > build new options
-
Safe System
- 30km/h speed limits in urban areas
- needs strong governance and community engagement e.g. slow for SAM signs, enforcemen
-
Challenges
-
Politician desire to be hero and "bust congestion"
- rhetoric used, "CBP" at BCC
New Road projects
- Not acknowledging impact on environment, city, induced demand etc
Future uncertainty
- Managing uncertainty > use scenario planning and transport modelling to investigate possible futures to explore different policy and infrastructure interventions
