These reports demonstrate the economic value of sustainable urban mobility interventions. Based on the review of a large body of evidence comprising 351 source documents, they present and summarise the available evidence for 22 types of mobility measures.
These evidence reviews assist practitioners in selecting and prioritising measures by:
- Indicating the net beneficial economic returns that are likely to be experienced from the range of interventions commonly found in a SUMP, including the range and scale of benefits.
- Providing information as to which interventions are most likely to work well together in respect of producing more sustainable mobility and providing economic benefits.
- Offering examples of effectively evaluated existing interventions through the EVIDENCE database and the Measure Reviews.
