For me it is part of returning strategy and policy as useful and relevant tools in achieving real, value for money outcomes for people. This is why I think that we need to take it further and look at function and geographically based targets that might be harder to measure and forecast but can be more readily translated from policy to plan. For example, I believe that we should be aiming for a 40-50% active transport share for journeys to work or school of less than 3km. I think that technology and big data collection can help us measure these if we can arrive at meaningful policy goals and target criteria rather than the old meaningless global pictures. <br /><br />Also, as you know, models ain't models and some do active much better than others. We need out transport analysts and forecasters to be more open to alternative models that aren't so blindingly focused on motorised modes. Either that or we should be demanding that the "preferred" platform is brought up to speed.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09484317189602055911noreply@blogger.com
