Topic outline
2a. Cross-sector links for implementation planning of measure packages
The need to travel, and the most convenient way to travel, is often dictated by decisions made by organisations in other sectors – e.g. education, health and retail.
As a result, in many cases the overall volume of travel (number and length of trips) and timing of trips is largely outside the control of the transport sector.
Establishing cross sector links within the Transition Pathway development can tackle reductions in travel demand and greenhouse gas emissions at source through coordinated policy making. However, there is also the need to better manage remaining cross sector demands and emissions through joint planning of operations and service delivery that have transport implications. This could be in relation to the mobility of staff, pupils/patients/customers, visitors, as well as the freight/logistics implications of these other sectors.
Including these other sectors, that are generators of transport demand, in the implementation planning process ensures that suitable supporting measures or enabling actions applied by, or on, these other sectors are integrated within the core measure package.
- Lesson #2: Cross sector coordination - LINKS File PDF document
This lesson will address the challenges of cross sector coordination and potential mechanisms, barriers and incentives for coordination, location decision models and criteria, service delivery strategies.
- RELATED TOOL: Service delivery options File PDF document
This tool highlights general ways in which public and private sector organisations can provide their goods and services to their customers, at fixed or mobile sites, or to or within homes.
Deliverable 1.2 - Developing Transition Pathways towards Sustainable Mobility in European cities includes a review of the state-of-the-art in academic and practitioner evidence regarding the development of longer-term Transition Pathways for urban mobility, and sets out some key concepts for addressing this issue. It identifies some major implementation barriers to sustainable mobility policies in European cities, and proposes a new planning approach to overcome the ‘implementation gap’ and enable sustainable mobility transitions.
- RESOURCE #2: D1.4 - Conceptual framework to establish cross-sector links between sectors File PDF document
D1.4 - Initial conceptual framework to map and establish crosssector Links between major trip-generating sectors of the economy. Transport is largely a derived demand and serves the needs of producers and consumers across the various sectors of the economy. Hence, business decisions taken by these non-transport sectors can have a major influence on passenger and freight travel patterns (particularly in terms of the numbers and location of trips); yet these transport consequences and the impacts on traffic congestion, accidents, air pollution and CO2 emissions, are rarely taken into account when these sectors develop their models for (public) service delivery and business models. This deliverable provides an initial conceptual framework to help address this problem.
