  1. Improved Indicators for Sustainable Transport & Land Use Planning Final workshop of the DISTILLATE programme Great Minster House, London Tuesday 22nd January 2008 Dr Greg Marsden ITS, University of Leeds

  2. Objectives • To develop approaches for • Designing a monitoring strategy • Selecting suitable indicators • Using them consistently across sectors

  3. Key Problems

  4. 3 Best Practice Guides • Designing a monitoring strategy • Advice on selecting indicators • Monitoring across sectors & spatial levels

  5. Designing a monitoring strategy • How to establish/review/use a monitoring framework • The types of indicators you can measure • What you can use monitoring for • How to fit monitoring together • How to prioritise what to monitor • How the guide has been used

  6. Application of monitoring • Performance management • Benchmarking • Communication with public • Communication with politicians • Other agencies/departments

  7. Types of indicators • Cost • the money spent to acquire the resources (e.g. transport plan expenditure) • Input • the resources employed to provide the service (e.g. amount of tarmac laid) • Output • the service provided to the public (e.g. the number of bus miles run) • Intermediate outcome • the changes to the transport system that can be observed (e.g. the number of bus users, the number of kilometers travelled) • Outcome • the actual impact and the value of the service delivery – i.e. achievement of objectives (e.g. delay per person kilometre)

  8. Designing a monitoring strategy

  9. Advice on selecting indicators

  10. Advice on selecting indicators • New challenges are emerging • How do we identify and justify new indicators? • Audit • Is it clearly defined? • Is the indicator largely controllable by management actions? • Is it measurable? • Will it respond to policy interventions in a reasonable time frame? • Is it easy to understand and communicate? • Issues of disaggregating, time series and targets

  11. Monitoring across sectors & spatial levels Advice on: • When to standardise measurement • What to standardise • Importance of data management • How to integrate with broader ‘policy’ • Use of information in partnership working

  12. Case Study: New Performance Framework

  13. Examples • Environment • NI 186 CO2/capita emissions in the LA area • Education • NI 91 Participation of 17 year olds in education or training • Fear of crime • NI 17 Perceptions of anti-social behaviour
