Current projects

  1. Provide information for the freight plan on distribution hubs with cargo bikes or electric vans by finding the success and failure factors for distribution hubs, identifying suitable locations, defining coverage areas and estimating emission reductions.

  2. Develop specific improvements in local freight operations.

  3. Examine experience elsewhere on how to encourage vehicle sharing with such means as purchasing subsidies, different ownership models (for clubs, rentals and subscriptions) and lower fees or greater availability (of chargers, vehicle bays and road lanes).

  4. Work towards the development of the walking and cycling plan, by (for example) identifying stub streets and kerbside lanes for greener uses (such as parklets, seats, hedges, trees, cycle hangars and shared vehicle bays) and locating potential access improvements (such as footway repairs, tactile surfaces and step free crossings).
