Another year is nearly over - whew! Thank you to all the wonderful clients and colleagues that we have worked with this year. We hope that everyone has a wonderful holiday season (and returns back safely in the New Year).
In March 2016, Christchurch City introduced a 30 km/h zone within the central city. Two years on, here's an updated analysis by Glen of safety impacts of this lower speed zone, using the surrounding remainder of the CBD as a "control" comparison. Reported injuries: down 36% vs previous two years. Reported injury crashes: down 25%. All while vehicle and foot traffic have been growing with businesses returning to city.
Have you seen Auckland's new directional cycle signals? They have two sites - Beach Road / Te Taou Crescent, and Nelson Street / Victoria Street. Even if you haven't seen them yet, please give us your feedback - http://bit.do/AkldCycSignals
John leads ViaStrada’s school travel planning services. Based on his experience with school travel plans in the US, in 2016 John set up the New Zealand Travel Planners group with 24 members representing 14 local authorities. The group’s listserv collates resources and provides a forum for exchange of best practices in school and workplace travel planning.
Last year, we conceded that ViaStrada sucks at cycling. We came 14th last year in our category (with 100% participation; go figure...), and we wouldn’t do any better this year. Now that the Aotearoa Bike Challenge is again upon us, we must face the truth once more.
So we shall withdraw our participation for 2018. Why? An organisation’s success gets measured by how many more staff you encourage to try out biking. But we can’t improve on 100% as all of us bike to work every day.
This survey has now closed - results have been submitted to the NZ Transport Agency and will be available soon.
We hope you like this year's card (below): you can find out more about our research on red light running.
Merry Christmas from the team at ViaStrada!
It's all a bit hush hush, but we've just signed a contract where our contractual partner is acting for Her Majesty the Queen. Can we thus say that we work "by royal appointment"? Maybe Jon's previous meeting has helped our case.
