ƒ Summary of the findings of the TRICS multi use
research;
ƒ The Area Travel Plan as a mechanism to act on
these findings;
ƒ How to maximise the potential trip rate savings
of multi use developments with Area Travel
Planning; and
ƒ Summary of recommendations
TRICS multi use research
AIM:
ƒ Over-estimated; or
ƒ Under-estimated.
METHOD:
ƒ Comparing aggregate estimates with actual
trips.
CONCLUSIONS:
ƒ Number of developments; and
ƒ Amount of parking.

TRICS multi use research
ƒ RECCOMMENDATIONS;
potential trip savings can
be made at multi use
sites, but they require
travel demand
management strategies
to lock them in.
The Area Travel Plan (ATP)
“A travel demand management strategy for a number
of businesses, organisations or development sites
in an area, that share the same transport issues or
requirements”

How to implement an effective ATP
ƒ Modal share targets;
ƒ Monitoring; and
ƒ TRICS system
development.
Why ATPs are successful
MOTIVATIONS
ƒ Reduced S106 contributions at outset; and
ƒ Maintain efficient transport patterns over time.
CRITICAL MASS
ƒ Data is more comprehensive; and
ƒ Measures are more effective.
PARTNERSHIP
ƒ Reduced costs for measures; and
ƒ Reduced resource input.
Experience and Evidence
ƒ Whiteley ATP
Experience and Evidence
ƒ Islington town centres
Summary of Recommendations
ƒ For DC officers to enforce ATPs through the
planning framework for multi use sites;
ƒ To link ATPs to developer funded transport
services; and
ƒ TRICS system development to reflect the
findings of the multi use research.
