Transport planner JMP has built an evaluation framework for Brighton and Hove City Council for use in the development of its Safer Routes to School programme.
The Department for Transport-designated Cycling City has identified safety and encouraging cycling as the main objectives in its Safer Routes programme and initially JMP is working with 12 schools to evaluate progress.
First indications are that mode switch is being achieved, following widening of footpaths and installation of crossing points near to schools and the use of paths through parks.
JMP has also liaised with other councils to establish how and to what extent they evaluate the effectiveness of such schemes in building a framework against which to “score” individual schemes.
