Getting the Best from SUMPS Tools Guy Hitchcock SUMPS 6th Co-ordination group meeting

What sort of SUMPS tools do we have? Quantitative tools – e.g. Urban Roadmaps Guidance – e.g. SUMPS guidance Best practice/Case studies Toolkits Training material Lots!

Provider perspective: The challenges Provider perspective: How do we ensure that our tools are well used? Lots of effort and resources have been used to create them so need to get them used. User perspective: Lots of tools and guidance – how can I find and use the best tool (s) for what I need to do?

Projects Past and Present Lots of tools have been generated Lots of website to promote and inform people about the tools Ongoing promotional events Ongoing training

Just putting it out there is not enough: Getting better use Just putting it out there is not enough: We need to help users find the right tool(s) We need to help them use the tools effectively Most will need several tools – how do they work together?

Discussion and ideas Do we need a better understanding of what is available, what is relevant, where there are gaps? Do we know how well our tools are being used? Usage data/stats? Expert system to guide people to most appropriate tool/information rather than simple searches? Capacity building Information events – build awareness Training – helps understanding but does it generate true use? Mentoring/support – working direct with cities to help them select and use tools A mentoring fund for cities to apply to? Other ideas??
