PARKING FOR ALL https://lnkd.in/eGR_vqj7 ‘Parking for All’ is an interactive game developed by Andrew Potter, director of Parking Perspectives. The game, which features a model street, player cards and newspaper stories, explores a number of potential guidebook approaches for councils to make rationalised and consistent decisions about who gets what space. ‘Parking for All’ was unveiled at Traffic + Parking 2024, organised by Landor LINKS Ltd and programmed by Mark Moran Many thanks to Natalie Clarke for her brillant design work. PLAYERS' RESPONSES Richard Walker, head of parking, Mark Moran Essex Parking Partnership The Parking for All session explored the real issues that traffic planners face when trying to consider the social value of different measures at the kerbside. As an interactive game it allowed us to play out the roles of various members of the community, and ensured we considered all the views. Use of the kerbside is almost always a compromise between various groups and the social value exercise helped us understand a new dimension to the usage. Keith Kelly, senior business development manager, AppyWay The Traffic + Parking Conference in Manchester tried something new that really worked, based on the audience’s energy in the room. Instead of just talking about parking challenges, they turned the topic into a practical game – Parking for All. Everyone got to play a different role – some were residents, others were business owners or transport planners. Together, we had to figure out how to share limited street space between parking spots, delivery zones, bus stops, and bike lanes. By actually playing these roles, we understood the real world challenges much better than we would have from a typical presentation. Neil Herron, founder and chief executive, Grid Smarter Cities The Parking for All game made a refreshing change from death by PowerPoint and engaged people directly in roles and discussion that required them to see things from a perspective they may not normally consider. It also brought out comments, responses and engagement from people that would never be elicited in a Q&A session or panel debate. Parking for All broke down barriers and put people in a warmer, receptive and communicative environment. The scenarios and personas brought things down to relatable and understandable problems and communication on a human rather than an abstract level. Matthew Turner, head of product, Barbour Logic I enjoyed how well everyone took to their roles, it was well facilitated and lots of people got to have a say. I liked having to think about my particular stakeholder angle. I liked how a diverse range of stakeholders were represented. It helped me think of the problem from many different perspectives, some of which I'd never covered before. The Dutch auction to park outside our own homes was really interesting. I would recommend the game to others in the transport and parking sectors. #parking

We are proud to share that we are featured in this month's edition of Parking Review, showcasing our cutting-edge Virtual Loading Bay (VLB) technology within the Kerb® booking platform. Our VLBs offer a digital dispensation, enabling drivers to safely load and unload closer to their delivery points in areas where loading is typically prohibited. John Crosk, Chairman of The Brewery Logistics Group, highlights: “The Brewery Logistics sector has key health and safety considerations when delivering to hospitality venues. To deliver beer to a pub we require at least three feet of space around the back of the vehicle. The Virtual Loading Bay booking capability helps our members with access, compliance and delivery certainty.” Our Virtual Loading Bays are currently being trialled across London as part of the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs-funded #SmarterGreenerLogistics project in collaboration with Cross River Partnership.  View the full article here (pages 20-21) ➡️ https://bit.ly/3ZA3vRA Find out more here: https://bit.ly/3BKPY1w Landor LINKS Ltd #KerbsideManagement #VirtualLoadingBays #Kerb #Technology #Innovation #Delivery #London #LocalAuthorities #Transport #Freight

Can franchising work in rural areas? It's an interesting question (and I think I have a bit of a maths answer) and now - with the Buses Bill and new funding allocations - it's not just theoretical. To connect rural communities will mean rethinking the design and management of rural bus networks and the structures are going to have to match (perhaps the new unitary authorities will help?). I'm excited to be talking to Stephen Joseph and James West on this timely topic next month. Join us for: Redesigning rural bus networks - can franchising work in rural areas? A webinar about new funding and models for rural bus services 9 January 10.30 am This webinar will look at how designing a rural bus network could work, where and when franchising or other models could be appropriate, what role fixed timetable and demand responsive transport can play as well as the impact better services could have.  #bus #transport #rural

Spending watchdog finds chargepoint roll-out on track https://lnkd.in/eM8tVtCg UK National Audit Office flags up planning and grid connections aa obstacles to be overcome Public electric vehicle chargepoint installations are currently on track to meet the minimum 300,000 needed across the UK by 2030, but government faces challenges to address the location of chargepoints, their accessibility and planning rules, according to a new NAO report. The report by the Comptroller and Auditor General – Public chargepoints for electric vehicles – also flags up wider barriers to chargepoint installation that are hindering progress, such as the cost and time needed to receive planning permissions and electricity grid connections. As of July 2024, 64,632 electric vehicle chargepoints had been installed. This is in line with projections made by the Department for Transport (DfT), through the Office for Zero Emissions Vehicles (OZEV), a team working across government supporting the transition away from petrol and diesel. DfT anticipates that its local chargepoint programme and continued growth in private installations will support the trajectory needed to reach 300,000 by 2030. While the overall number of chargepoint installations is on track, the estimate does not account for where chargepoints should be installed. This has created a regional divide; 44% of public chargepoints in the UK have been installed in London and the South East, while only 15% of chargepoints in England are in rural areas. London has more chargepoints installed per capita than any other region.

Our specialists took part in engaging round tables at this year’s Local Transport Summit. 🗣️ Market Director Duncan Irons and Head of Innovation Llewelyn Morgan discussed removing the barriers to an integrated national transport strategy. Duncan’s conversation focused on the integration between local, regional and national networks, whilst Llewelyn spoke about integrating technology. A key takeaway from the event ⬇️ There is a big call to action on finding a better approach to locating and planning out the government’s ambitious 1.5 million new homes target. Poorly located and laid out developments are pushing people into car use. There needs to be an improved, collaborative approach across sectors, using new technology to allow for quicker iteration of ideas and proposals - this will help ensure delivery of the government’s targets are achieved in a positive way, building successful new communities with lower impact on the environment. SYSTRA can support developers, housebuilders, and local planning and transport authorities through our technical expertise, Delta land use planning tool, transport model tools, and carbon assessment tools such as Eneval. Our specialists are able to help plan for reduced impact developments, and our engineering design work supports integrated transport and rail upgrades which will play an essential role for providing future sustainable local transport options.
