Seven steps to reinvent transport in your city
Virtually all of the necessary preconditions are now in place for far-reaching, rapid, low cost improvements in the ways that people get around in our cites. The needs are there, they are increasingly understood -- and we now know what to do and how to get the job done. The challenge is to find the vision, political will, and leadership to get the job done, step by deliberate step:
- Vision and leadership: Open your eyes, break with the past, take on the real problems of mobility, well-being and economic health in your city.
- Tighten time frame for action: Set firm targets for all to see and judge -- gearing all actions to achieve visible results within 2-4 year time frame.
- Build a coherent integrated policy frame: that explicitly drives and aligns all goals, measures and actions so that they move together in interactive synergy
- Frugal economics: You are not going to need another round of high cost, low impact investments to make it work
- Focus Projects : Select FIVE new mobility innovations to lead your transformation, and then package and integrate them for success.
- Ownership: Make your New Mobility program a broad-based collaborative enterprise that listens to and engages the whole city.
- Pick winners: New approaches demand success. Chose policies and services with track records of success and build on their experience.
