transport to and from work. If a single occupancy car is replaced by either cycling or walking, then the
company will profit from healthier workers and a reduction in sick leave.
Comment 2:
This overall description of the problem should be intensified and supplemented at the planning stage
of the project and be described at the analysis level External factors (Y).
Road manager approaches
The SRA adopted a national strategy in 2000 for increased and safer cycling (SRA publication
2000:8), which highlights the importance of increased bicycle traffic, developing cycle paths, and
promoting the use of safety protection equipment. Safe cycle paths are important not to negate the
positive health effects of cycling, and physical investments are therefore a prerequisite.
The SRA has carried out an action analysis in accordance with the four stage principle (SRA publication
2002:72) where it studied various types of measure ahead of the expansion of the industrial
park. A pedestrian and cycle path is seen as socio-economically profitable if it successfully attracts
new pedestrians and cyclists. A combination of measures that comprise stage 1 to 3 of the four stage
principle is thought to be necessary to achieve the desired effects.
Stage 1: Measures that influence transport demand and choice of mode of transport:
• Early collaboration with users with information about the planned measures, and marketing
of the pedestrian and cycle path as a means of transport
• Marketing of cycling as an attractive alternative to single occupancy car travel
Stage 2: Measures that make the existing road network more efficient:
• Integrated campaigns to increase cycle helmet use
Stage 3: Road improvement measures:
• Construction of the cycle path along the existing road
Comment 3:
The existing road does not need to be upgraded as the construction of a cycle path will separate
cyclists and create more room for cars.
Description of the planned project
The project contains a mobility management section, which involves collaboration with users, information
about measures, and marketing of the pedestrian and cycle path as a means of transport, and
a physical measure which is an uninterrupted cycle path. Using SUMO terminology, this means:
Service: Early collaboration with users, information about the
planned measures, and marketing of the pedestrian and cycle path
as a means of transport.
Option offered: Use of an
uninterrupted cycle path.
