The network cannot accommodate this,

even with improvements, so…

Implications for Oxford’s network

26,000 additional journeys (by all modes)

within the city by 2031 – a 25% increase from

2011.

Without intervention, this could mean 13,000

more commuter car trips each day.

Mode shift is required to avoid major traffic growth and congestion

Central challenge

Improve access

Move more people

Improve place

A better city vs

Traditional solutions have a role, but are

not enough

Do we want over 40% more buses in

the city centre?

Oxford Street, London

Components of the OTS

Mass transit Walking & cycling Managing traffic and

travel demand

Three elements: one vision

Mass transit

New P&R

Redeveloped P&R

Zero emissions

High capacity

No tracks or wires

Fast boarding

City centre More mass transit vehicles + more cyclists + more

pedestrians = need for increased segregation of mass transit

Stage 1

Routeing and stop changes

Stage 2

New & expanded off-street terminals

Stage 3

Transit tunnels
