Room: Portico Room

Session Title: Zero Traffic Growth with Increasing Population

Format: Presentation

Presenter Name: Lisa (DoT)

Summary

  • The community complains about inadequate parking, yet people are aware of the traffic congestion.

  • Consider a defined restriction for parking per household.

  • Policy needs to be specific.

  • Considered the opportunity of car sharing.

  • How can we support younger generations and public transport use?

  • We need to allow for time to see the behavioural change as infrastructure and restrictions will not radically change the car-dependent scenario.

  • Restricting owning a car until a certain age could also be a way to ownership control.
