Classification: Public STZ overview / update The new Sustainable Travel Zone (STZ) will start to restore some of the benefits for colleagues and passengers that were lost in 2021, due to the ending of Heathrow’s funding. We have identified five key design principles: 1 Data Led 2 Effective in delivering mode shift and resulting environmental benefits 3 Scalable 4 Easy to use 5 Equitable These have informed a set of initial proposals that are designed to be built upon, with the intention of the STZ in the future being better than how things were pre-Covid (subject to budget and negotiations with partner organisations).
Classification: Public STZ overview / update We will initially focus on a range of initiatives serving the areas where most colleagues live. These will be designed to encourage colleagues to walk, cycle or use public transport. • Priority 1 – ensure existing public transport operates at the times required by all colleagues • Priority 2 – improve active travel options for those living close enough to walk or cycle • Priority 3 – campus connectivity (to support travel during the working day and for first mile / last mile) • Priority 4 – discounted travel • Priority 5 – new or significantly improved services Passengers travelling to and from the areas where improvements are made will also benefit.
