The Combined Authority is currently planning for the next wave of active travel measures. This will include new cycle lanes, improved pedestrian facilities and walking routes, and the closure of some roads to traffic. The report says: Although detailed monitoring and evaluation of active travel schemes in a monetised form is an emerging science, initial figures from across the UK are helpful in providing evidence that such investment provides value for money. The Department for Transport’s own Active Mode Appraisal Toolkit includes several worked examples to demonstrate how these various benefits, including reduced congestion, reduced emissions, public health benefits and road traffic collision reduction, accrue.
