Cycling WG. Year 2 highlights More cities added to the group More detailed work on Yr 1 indicators

Cycling WG. Year 2 highlights Continued… Research questions: –Marketing –measuring effects of policies –integrating cycling with public transport modes Joint working group meeting with PT Desire to build on this in year 3

Looking for new cities to join Currently have 5 cities, but more would be welcomed. Welcome to London and The Hague who joined the group for year three Have approached other cities and projects & there is interest

Ideas for new themes & actions Accept proposed new year 3 theme of ‘cycling as a component of joined-up urban transport journeys (cycle-walk-PT)’ Develop cycle-public transport joint indicators, on intermodality, best practise and practical ways to work together

Ideas for new themes & actions Continued… Develop our work on marketing Develop a model cycle policy monitoring & evaluation template Develop potential for school travel plans

Ideas for new ways to work Agree with proposal to have a joint site visit/s with the PT working group Also invite PT operators to join cycling WG and its meetings with a view to improving ‘joined-up journeys’

Ideas for new ways to work Continued… Focus on more cities rather than more indicators Log useful indicators for which data does not exist
