Recap of Transportation Master Plan Phase 2 Exhibit 2. Transportation Goals and Guiding Principles A New Mobility Transportation Master Plan for London 1. Provide safe, affordable, efficient transportation for everyone Ensure all residents including those with low incomes, disabilities, the elderly, and others who cannot, or do not, own their own vehicle are provided safe, affordable, reliable, convenient, and efficient transportation options. 2. Make London’s neighbourhoods pedestrian and bicycle friendly Recognizing the importance of good health to citizens, enhance opportunities to walk and bike in London, which in return will reduce single‐occupancy vehicle trips. 3. Integrate land use and transportation planning to encourage more sustainable lifestyles Create neighbourhoods that contain the full range of development densities and land uses, including those that are compact, mixed‐use, and pedestrian‐friendly, while ensuring the health, safety, and well‐being of individuals and families. 4. Preserve and enhance environmental resources Avoid impacts to the natural environment to the extent possible in expanding transportation infrastructure. 5. Promote reliable, convenient, and seamless transit Encourage London Transit Commission and other transit operators to provide seamless public transit service within London and between London and outlying towns and communities. 6. Promote economic vitality Ensure economic competitiveness by providing a safe, reliable, and efficient transportation system. 7. Support diverse transportation system funding Seek innovative funding sources and strategies to ensure a more balanced, sustainable transportation system. 8. Minimize use of fossil fuels Transportation needs must be met without generating emissions that threaten public health, global climate, biological diversity, or the integrity of essential ecological processes. 9. Optimize the existing transportation system Make the most of what currently exists by preserving and maximizing the use of facilities and services – support new technologies, access management, and transportation system management initiatives. Avoid or defer the need for new infrastructure that does not support this set of goals. 10. Minimize growth in travel demand Encourage initiatives and programs that reduce demands on the transportation system, especially at peak hours, or reduce the number of vehicles on the roads while accommodating the same number of people. 11. Encourage the efficient movement of freight and support the greater use of freight by rail Support strategies that improve freight movement within London’s boundaries and minimize the flow of heavy trucks through or adjacent to residential communities. 12. Develop parking strategies that reduce singleoccupant vehicle travel Develop strategies that reduce the demand for parking in the downtown area, existing and future employment centres, and other activity nodes. 13. Foster awareness of sustainable transportation Develop programs and activities that enhance residents’ awareness and understanding of the benefits of sustainable transportation. - 1-8 -
A New Mobility Transportation Master Plan for London 1.3 Where Are We Today? A Solid Foundation for the Transportation Master Plan Every TMP combines an element of visionary thinking (i.e. where do we want to go?) with an element of grounded reality (i.e. what have we been able to achieve so far?). In some respects it is easy to be visionary; to think of how we would like our transportation system to be. It is much harder to combine this visionary thinking with realistic forecasts and assessments grounded in fact, which are also very important factors to consider when making good decisions about future investment priorities. Recognizing the importance of understanding the foundation from where this TMP would be developed, the City undertook a household travel survey at the outset of this project to collect information on: Who is travelling around our city? What modes of travel are they using? When are they travelling? Where are they coming from and going to? Why are they travelling, and why are they choosing the modes of travel they are? The 2009/2010 full household travel survey summary report is included in Appendix E. A few key findings from this survey have been highlighted in this report to provide insight into the attitudes of the City’s residents regarding their travel choices and to set the context for the scenarios that evolved as the TMP was completed. The survey was designed to provide a snapshot of transportation in the City on a typical weekday. The household travel survey was undertaken using a random telephone survey of residents within the City and the communities surrounding the City. An internet based survey was also provided and a number of residents participated in this as well. The survey was designed to obtain a sample of approximately 5% of City residents and 2% of the population of the remaining communities within the London Census Metropolitan Area. By comparison, the 2002 household travel survey undertaken as part of the 2004 TMP, used a sample size of approximately 3.5% and only included residents living within the City itself. - 1-9 - The final survey included 6,800 households within the Greater London Area with over 16,300 participants reporting on their daily trips.
