About us We make it easier for people to walk and cycle We are the charity that makes it easier for people to walk and cycle. We are engineers and educators, experts and advocates. We connect people and places, create liveable neighbourhoods, transform the school run and deliver a happier, healthier commute. Sustrans works in partnership, bringing people together to find the right solutions. We make the case for walking and cycling by using robust evidence and showing what can be done. We are grounded in communities and believe that grassroots support combined with political leadership drives real change, fast. We make it easier for people to walk and cycle because it leads to: • Happier, healthier people • Greener, better local environments • Stronger economies and communities 4

Zero Carbon
London
Location: London’s Inner Ring Road
We envision the transformation of London’s Inner Ring
Road into a sequence of city streets and high streets where
the priority is shifted to cycling, walking, sitting, and relax-
ing.
Currently London’s Inner Ring road is characterised by
heavy traffic, lack of cycling and walking facilities and
poor air quality. The MTS aspires to tackle these issues in
part through Ultra Low Emission Zones (ULEZ). Combined
with the reduction of vehicle numbers around London, the
ULEZ will help free up space and provide opportunities for
a healthier streetscape environment.
We propose the space transformation as a strategic ap-
proach through time by dividing the Inner Ring Road into 8
distinct sections that will be delivered over 4 specific time
periods by 2041. Starting with Euston Road and Commer-
cial Street, two areas in urgent need of change, we real-
locate space by extending pavements, introducing cycle
superhighway infrastructure, and creating linear parks. We
give space for active frontages to spill out and create public
space, leaving a limited width for electric vehicles only.
Zero Carbon London aims to set high standards for all 10
Healthy Streets Indicators.
The proposal was submitted as part of the TfL Architecture
and Urbanism Panel 2 (ADUP2) bid.

Community Street
Design: Folkestone
Gardens
Location: LB Lewisham
Responding to residents, the London Borough of Lewisham
asked Sustrans to work together with the community
to redesign the entrance to Folkestone Gardens from
Woodpecker Road and make other improvements along Rolt
Street.
Through a collaborative design process, Sustrans engaged
and listened to the community. We met with over seventy-
five people who use and go through the park regularly, by
holding two pop-up events in March 2017. We listened to
how they thought the entrance could be improved and made
safer for everyone, and also found that the majority of people
who used the park arrived by foot or on bike. Over 50% of
residents felt traffic speeds were fast or very fast and that it
was not safe to cycle across Rolt Street and 45% of residents
felt it was not safe to walk across Rolt Street.
The proposed design imagines Rolt Street as an extension
of Folkestone Gardens providing a pleasant and safe place
for people to walk, cycle, sit, stay and play. The scheme is
completely inspired by local community design ideas and
the historical significance of the area that surrounds it. The
oneway boulevard allows cars to pass through from the
Childers Street junction towards Trundleys Road with design
speeds set to 5mph.

Community Street “It’s going to be much safer for the children
Design: Richard Atkins to cross and the parents as well!”

Primary School
Location: Brixton, Lambeth
In July 2015 Lambeth Transport Team commissioned
Sustrans to tackle parent and resident complaints about
New Park Road. Sustrans collaboratively designed a
radical traffic calming scheme to reduce traffic speed and
volume, making a healthier street environment for all. Our
co- design process resulted in:
30% reduction in the number
of HGVs using the street
27% reduction in speed
14% reduction in the volume
of traffic

Design: Marks Gate
Location: LB Barking & Dagenham
Sustrans delivered an innovative two-year project on a
London housing estate which combined community-led
street design and behaviour change work with the aim
of improving opportunities for walking and cycling. The
project set-out to address a number of challenges in the
area, such as a car-dominated environment, low levels of
cycling, poor mental and physical health indicators and
a lack of community empowerment. The £250k project
delivered 145 events with a throughput of 7000 residents,
involving a programme of community engagement, area
scoping, co-design workshops and the delivery of finalised
concept designs.
Among the interventions were traffic-calming measures,
place-making features, cycle storage installation and
alterations to school entrances to enable safer walking and
cycling.
This was combined with active travel initiatives in schools
and the wider community in order to complement the
infrastructure work. The project set up a cycle training
programme with a throughput of 4000 children and adults.
Initial findings from our monitoring suggest that the addition
of behaviour change work has encouraged more people
to get involved in the design process and led to greater
support for the final changes made.
