Management consultancy Arthur D. Little’s new global study of urban mobility assesses the mobility maturity and performance of 66 cities worldwide and finds most not just falling well short of best practice but in a state of crisis. This report highlights what is holding them back, showcases best practice and identifies three strategic imperatives for cities and three clusters of future business models for mobility suppliers that will enable cities to meet the urban mobility challenge.

Scope of carbon budgets: Statutory advice on inclusion of international aviation and shipping

The Committee on Climate Change has published its report on international aviation and shipping emissions, arguing that there is no longer any reason to exclude these from carbon budgets. In the report the Committee conclude that the current approach should be formalised through the inclusion of these emissions in carbon budgets and the 2050 target. Emissions from international aviation and shipping were initially left out of carbon budgets and the 2050 target when the Climate Change Act became Law in 2008, with the decision on inclusion delayed to 2012. A technical report accompanies this advice, out scenarios for how the 2050 target to reduce emissions by 80% relative to 1990 levels can be achieved with international aviation and shipping included.

The National Audit Office has published a report on the construction and sale of the high speed railway line linking the Channel Tunnel with central London. The High Speed 1 project has delivered a high performing line, which was subsequently sold in a well-managed way which removed the taxpayer’s open-ended support for the project. However, international passenger numbers are falling far short of original forecasts and the project costs exceed the value of journey time saving benefits.

EPOMM, the European Platform on Mobility Management, has developed two new services that are rapidly gaining recognition:
TEMS: The EPOMM Modal Split: This is an online tool allowing access to modal split data from currently more than 330 cities across Europe, with more cities added all the time. This is the first publicly accessible database that allows easy access to such data on a European-wide scale. Users can select a city from the map or compare a group of cities using search and benchmarking options. This allows, for example, to compare all cities in Europe with between 100.000 and 200.000 inhabitants and a cycling modal share of over 10%. The aim of EPOMM is to be able to provide the modal split data of all of the more than 600 European cities with more than 100.000 residents, and to foster discussion on a European standardisation of such data.
MaxEva is an interactive web tool that guides and helps cities to evaluate and collect monitoring data of their projects. It provides an overview of results at any time during the project and automatically calculates the effects in terms of modal split, reduced mileage and reduced CO2-emissions. Projects that have already used MaxEva can be found by using either an interactive map or a search and benchmarking tool. For each project, a large array of background data is available.
