1. Raising the Bar for Integration with Public Transport
Andrew Ardley
Devon County Council

2. Content The journey to date What’s missing from public transport?
Exeter as a case study
What are the prospects for the future?

3. The journey so far….
Lots of talk about integration with public transport and door to door journeys….
Lots of individual initiatives e.g. station travel plans, cycle routes / parking
Practical challenges e.g. bikes on trains, fragmentation of bus and rail provision
Have we really given people more practical options?
Outcome: Some good individual mode provision but still not really joined up…
Emergence of MAAS…

4. Challenges and Opportunities in Exeter
2011
2001
Travel to Work Areas

5. TTW Changes (2001-2011) - In numbers
Additional 7,400 people who travel to work in Exeter
Rise from 67,000 to 74,400
but only 1,400 are car drivers (20%)
Vehicle Trips within Exeter have fallen by 3900 (18.3%)
Mirrored by additional 3,500 sustainable trips in city (21.5%)
Offsets additional 5,300 car trips from outside Exeter
Sustainable modes account for 1/3 of new trips from outside City

7. Exeter’s TTW National Performance
Majority of residents do not drive to work (55%)
Walking (22%) 4th highest nationally! (2nd Really!)
And in comparison to other cities locally and of a similar size
Public Transport % one of the best & on par with larger cities (Bristol & Plymouth)
Cycling is middle of cities of comparative size.
But some significantly higher Oxford (17%) and Cambridge (30%) higher.

8. Town Characteristics Balanced Commuting Patterns Blue – inward commute
Red – outward commute
Newton
Abbot
Axminster

9. Town TTW Analysis – Newton Abbot to Exeter
TTW to Exeter Overall
79% of all trips to Exeter made by car
9% by train
27% travel by train to city centre- only 2% to Sowton
Potential Improvements
Marsh Barton Station to make a big difference to travel splits to Marsh Barton
Also Hospital/County Hall?
Half hourly rail to Digby & Sowton
But a long way round!

10. Opportunities: Devon Metro
10 stations within or on edge of city with additional planned at Marsh Barton 2018

11. Station Hubs Pinhoe Skypark Science Park
Exeter Business Park / Met Office
RD&E / County Hall
Sowton Industrial Estate
Digby and Sowton
Marsh Barton
Marsh Barton Industrial Estate

12. Bus Network Heavily Radial Route Based…

14. So Near But So Far… Pinhoe Skypark Science Park
Exeter Business Park / Met Office
Sowton Industrial Estate
Digby and Sowton
Exeter Chiefs (Sandy Park)
IKEA (opening Spring 18)

15. A Great Opportunity… But needs to work at both ends of the journey
Not just about journey to work – can we reduce the need for that second car?
Can we make tickets / booking as integrated as possible?
Travel Plans still have a key role to play to co-ordinate
