Transport Overview - Local Transport Plan
• Transport is an enabler of activity and has a key role to play in:
• building vibrant local communities,• underpinning and enabling regeneration,• moving towards a sustainable future.
• Local Transport Plan 3 sets out how both Portsmouth and the wider South Hampshire sub-region will be tackled
• Each Local Transport Authority in England and Wales has a statutory duty to produce and adopt a Local Transport Plan
• Portsmouth City Council has developed the third Local Transport Plan strategy, which covers the period up to 2031 working closely with Solent Transport partners
Transport Overview - Local Transport Plan
Transport has considerable influence on health and quality of life, not only in terms of improving access to society and encouraging healthy lifestyles but also in promoting overall well being and quality of life.
Transport Overview - Local Transport Plan
Portsmouth and the South Hampshire Sub-region
• There is increasing recognition of the fact that transport challenges cross authority boundaries
• Portsmouth City Council works with Southampton City Council, Isle of Wight Council and Hampshire County Council to form Solent Transport to develop and deliver transport improvements for this functional economic area
Phil Marshall – Solent Transport will expand on this later
10
Physical Challenges to transport
11
• Island city with limited space to expand the road network
• Only 3 roads linking Portsmouth to the mainland• Very high housing density and mix of housing
designs• Historic sections of city & a large number of
listed buildings• Large student population• 55% of those aged over 65 have a Limiting Long
Term Illness (LLTI)• Large number of cars within the city
Psychological challenges to transport
12
• Active travel not ‘cultural norm’ or seen as convenient – not just a Portsmouth problem
• Low confidence in road cycling • High ‘fear of crime’ levels• High levels of cycle theft• Limited access to affordable cycling equipment• Poor perception at present of cycling within the
city
Transport Team Structure - PCC

Future Transport Funding• Most future transport funding is allocated to National Road and Rail Networks
and HS2 and increases significantly between 2015/16 and 2020/21• Significant proportion of Local Transport funding to be secured by Local
Enterprise Partnerships (LEPs) from the £2bn per annum Local Growth Fund (LGF), which provides investment in transport, housing and skills to support the economic growth aspirations outlined in the Strategic Economic Plan (SEP)
• Over half of the LGF is supported by transport budgets BUT this is not ring fenced for transport
• LGF supported by proportion of Integrated Transport Block funding and LSTF Capital
• Currently no dedicated Government funding for walking and cycling
Cycling (and Walking) Delivery Plan
• Local authorities invited to enter Partnership with Government
• Need to demonstrate commitment to cycling and walking
• Receive support from Government including priority access to funding

“By collaboration we mean: the pooling of appreciations or tangible resources… by two or more stakeholders, to solve a set of problems which neither can solve individually”
Grey, B. 1985 Conditions facilitating inter-organisational collaboration, Human Relations, 38, 911-936
• Transport professionals can help tackle
the growth in non-communicable disease especially through helping change environments and behaviours to increase active travel
• Public health can offer different skill sets inc. for behaviour change, robust evidence and other support mechanisms
◦
Economic growth Carbon reduction Congestion reduction Air quality Safety and health
Health particularly appears with Local Transport as a ‘sustainable transport mode’
Need to identify ways to align health with these! (Co-benefits agenda)
Ways in Which Transport Influences Health Health Promoting Health Damaging Enables access to: Injuries
physical activity Sedentary lifestyles + weight gainemployment, shops, Pollution: goods, education, particulates, carbon other services, monoxide and countryside nitrogen oxidessocial (support) networks hydrocarbon and ozone, active travel carbon dioxide, lead, benzene well-being Climate change
Noise and vibrationStress and anxiety Traffic dangerLoss of land and planning blight Severance of communities by motor traffic
Time spent travelling by car has increased and walking declined by 23% between 1972 & 2005
Adults who bought private motorised transport to travel to work doubled their likelihood of becoming overweight in comparison to those where there was no mode change 1
Countries with highest levels of active travel generally have the lowest obesity rates 2

29% of public transport users achieve 30 minutes of daily physical activity solely by walking to and from transport stops.1
Increasing public transport usage may not only decrease road congestion and air pollution but may have the added health benefit of increasing the proportion of adults who obtain 30 minutes of daily physical activity.1.

Co-benefits
The societal benefits of even a modest increase in those who are physically active could be large. This includes carbon reduction, and other potential benefits such as improved academic attainment as a result of increased physical activity time.
Active Travel integration across Transport, Planning and other Council policies
Safe System Approach promoted by WHO, OECD Underpins Vision Zero (Sweden) and Sustainable
Safety ( Netherlands) road safety strategies Underpinned by evidence that greatest effect is
achieved by addressing all road users (not outliers) – ie a population strategy
Vision: Bristol should be a city safe for a 10 year old to walk independently to school

• Pedestrians & Cyclists make very good regular customers
• Identify the barriers and fix them
Calm residential streets
60% of UK population live within 15 minute ride of a train station – only 2% access stations by bike
Hackney
More residents cycle to work than any London borough, proportion increased from 7% in 2001 to over 15% in 2011
More residents cycle than drive 15.4% vs. 12.8%
14,054 walking commuters were recorded in the 2011 census, up from 7,811 in 2001
Hackney has the highest ratio of female to male cyclists (37% are women) of any London borough
• All of Hackney’s residential streets are now 20mph zones
• Many streets have point road closures making them safer for cyclists, pedestrians and those using the streets for play.
Hackney
• Innovative transport planning in town centres, prioritising active travel
• Good public realm: removal of guardrail & staggered crossings
• Filtered permeability
Hackney
• Encouraging car free development
• Ample cycle parking provision
