[sustran] New Mobility Strategies for your city - List of measures and tools

[Eric Britton]

For our about to be launched program for the New Mobility Advisory/Briefs
(http://www.newmobilitybriefs.org <http://www.newmobilitybriefs.org/> ) we have
identified going on two hundred measures, strategies, and tools which can help a
city move toward a more sustainable mobility systems.  The list as originally
organized on the site was a bit daunting so just this morning I tried to
reorganize and put it into the three main 'strategic pillars' which to my mind
constitute the underpinnings of a proper city strategy. 

 

I bet I have missed some things that should be there so I reproduce this
reorganized version just below for your uses, and would be most grateful to have
your comments and suggestions.

 

About half of these are already 'clickable' and will take you to some background
materials that a least start to clarify the concept, not all are so if you have
some suggestions for us there as well they will be most appreciated. (You may
also have some ideas as to how to better phrase some of this. Great!)

And oh yes PS. Many of you will notice that much of what you see below has come
directly from our exchanges and cooperation over the last decade and more here.
So once again, kindest thanks to you for helping make all this useful and
getting it out of the various closets, drawers and long forgotten reports and
books. 

 

 

 

 

New Mobility Strategies for your city

 

In the hope of rendering this very long list which includes a fair number of
topics which may not be immediately familiar to the reader, we have below
reorganized the master list into three main categories, which together
constitute the main pillars of the New Mobility strategy: (a) Measures aiming to
modify the existing road and parking infrastructure to render it more
sustainable; (b) measures aimed to increase the supply and quality of means of
alternative (to SOVs in traffic) mobility; (c) and a more general list of goals,
strategies, tools and events.
