Challenge 4How can footfall and transport be used innovatively to generate income and improve environmental sustainability in the city?

Challenge 41.Footfall - how bustling and busy a place is with pedestrians;2.Transport - getting about from A to B by motorised transport modes such as a car, vans or motorcycle or by more sustainable modes such as walking, cycling, buses and trains;3.Income- attracting, saving or generating money in the city to help the local economy thrive; and4.Environmental Sustainability – delivering quality of life whilst protecting the environment

Why this challenge?Current transport issues• It is expected that there will be a significant
growth in jobs and housing over the next 15 - 20 years. This may lead to:
• Increase pressure on road network • Increase carbon emissions that contribute to
global warming and climate change• Increase air pollutants
![Page 4: Why this challenge? Current transport issues](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070404/56813c2d550346895da5a9f5/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Current transport issues• Significant problems include:• Increase congestion delays on the network result in
unreliable journey times and longer journeys, particularly at busy periods and particularly on the Outer Ring Road.
• Numerous roads experience traffic speeds of less than 10 mph at peak times of day, particularly in and around the city centre.
• Inner Ring Road and sections of the roads approaching it are part of the city’s first designated Air Quality Management Area and air quality is deteriorating across the city.

Current transport issues• To address these issues there are plans and
strategies including • Local Transport Plan 3• Local Development Framework • Intelligent Travel York• New park and ride schemes• For more details on the above visit

Current climate change issues• Human activity such as burning fossil fuels to
power our homes and motorised vehicles is producing harmful greenhouse gas emissions like carbon dioxide (CO2) and is contributing to climate change
![Page 8: Why this challenge? Current transport issues](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070404/56813c2d550346895da5a9f5/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
In 2008 York emitted the equivalent of just under 1.2 million balloons worth of CO2!

In York we are committed to reducing CO2 emissions by 40% by 2020 (based on a 2005 baseline). We therefore need to save the equivalent of just over 650,000 balloons worth of CO2 by 2020

Current Climate Change issues• The city is committed to generating just under 40MW of installed renewable energy electricity capacity and 15.1 MW of renewable heat capacity by 2020.

Current Climate Change issues• To meet city targets a range of actions and plans
are in place:• Climate Change Framework and Action Plan • Local Transport Plan 3• Local Development Framework • Intelligent Travel York• New park and ride schemes• For more details on the above visit

Current Air Quality issues• The City has 2 Air Quality Management Areas
where Nitrogen Oxide levels are elevated: 1 – five locations around the inner ring road 2 – Fulford (Main street area)• Nitrogen dioxide is a brown gas arising mainly from
vehicle emissions • Air pollutants can be harmful to human health• For more details on the above visit
