[sustran] Stakeholder Consultation: Open for comments on the Proposed SLoCaT Results Framework on Sustainable Transport

[Cornie Huizenga]

Dear colleagues,


To promote the integration of sustainable transport in global policies on
sustainable development, the Partnership on Sustainable, Low Carbon
Transport (SLoCaT) started the development of a Results Framework on
Sustainable, Low Carbon Transport <http://www.slocat.net/resultsframework>
in October 2013.  It is intended that this Results Framework will result in:


   - An agreed common set of targets and indicators, defining sustainable,
   low carbon transport by 2030; this to guide the transport and development
   community in the development of transport infrastructure and services in
   support of economic and social development;


   - The integration of sustainable, low carbon transport in the
   Sustainable Development Goals and Targets as being developed by the Open
   Working Group (OWG) on SDGs.

The proposed Results Framework
<http://slocat.net/sites/default/files/u10/consultation_draft_sustainable_transport_results_framework-9_june.pdf>
calls for targets to improve rural, urban and national access as well as
regional connectivity in combination with targets to reduce road crashes,
air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions.  The Results Framework was
developed in consultation with over 30 organizations and was discussed in
various stakeholder consultation events. A first formal round of
stakeholder consultations was conducted in December 2013.  Comments
received were integrated in the current draft of the proposed Results
Framework.


We are now soliciting comments on the proposed Results Framework.  In your
comments we would like you to address the following questions:


   1. Are any major social, economic or environmental issues not covered,
   or not covered sufficiently, in the Results Framework on Sustainable
   Transport?
   2. Does the Results Framework sufficiently recognise the special
   mobility needs of vulnerable, poor or otherwise disadvantaged population
   groups and transport system users?
   3. Are the proposed targets and indicators measurable in terms of the
   monitoring and evaluation approaches outlined in the Results Framework and
   its Appendix on measurability?

In order to help us further improve the Results Framework, and to make your
feedback relevant, please keep in mind the following:


   - The structure of the Results Framework and its targets is the outcome
   of detailed discussions. Proposed changes in the wording of the targets may
   be considered, if well-reasoned and aligned with the overall structure of
   the results framework.


   - Please carefully read the existing document before proposing any
   additions to the number of indicators, implementation and enabling
   measures. In order to provide a practical framework the number of
   indicators must be limited and duplication must be avoided.


   - Methodologies for measuring the proposed indicators and targets are
   generally available and well-proven. While some indicators and targets are
   already measured today, others require further efforts to improve data
   quality on the global level and/or in particular countries, regions and
   cities. Implications for currently available methodologies, measurement and
   monitoring systems have been outlined in the document.

We look forward to receiving your feedback on the proposed results
framework.
