  1. Generating Strategic OptionsandExploring Distributional Impacts Final workshop of the DISTILLATE programme Great Minster House, London Tuesday 22nd January 2008 Peter Jones UCL 1

  2. Objectives • To develop option generation methods • To enhance the range, innovation and quality of options • For strategies and schemes

  3. Four Option Generation Products

  4. Four Option Generation Products

  5. KonSULT: Generating Packages of Measures • KonSULT is a web based knowledgebase developed at the University of Leeds http://www.konsult.leeds.ac.uk • Assesses potential contribution of over 40 transport and land use policy instruments, to achieving a range of objectives/ addressing problems • Uses both a first principles assessment and review of case studies • Provides information about previous applications of selected instruments

  6. KonSULT Developing Option Generation Component • The option generation tool has been developed to allow users to interrogate the information within the KonSULT database and develop packages of policy instruments • Users define their local circumstances and requirements, and the software then scores instruments in terms of their suitability – in two steps:

  7. Step 1 Uses information within KonSULT to assess each policy instrument, based on the criteria supplied by the user. Scores and then ranks each one. Accessible at: http://www.konsult.leeds.ac.uk/new/private/level2/filter.php Step 2 Takes data from Step 1 and adds information on synergy or barriers to create potential packages of pairs of instruments. Add on available from c.e.kelly@its.leeds.ac.uk

  8. Input Criteria for Step 1

  9. Example Output Step 1

  10. Step 2 (Packages) • .xls spreadsheet model • Uses output from step 1 • Individual can select / unselect the indicators to be included in packages • It creates a ranking of pairs of indicators using the combined score of the two policy instruments from step 1 and then modifies this score using either the synergy or barrier matrices

  11. Example Output Step 2

  12. Accessibility Planning Options Development of several techniques: • To assist with problem diagnosis as well as option identification • Some designed for use with local residents • Others designed for application by sector professionals • Includes consideration of distributional impacts

  13. Resident Discussion Groups:Existing Access Patterns

  14. Resident Discussion Groups:Exploring Options

  15. Professional Workshops:Investigating Spatial Strategies

  16. Professional Workshops:Developing solutions to access problems

  17. Defining Type of Service Provision

  18. General Problems Relating to Residential Location

  19. Solutions: Known Options

  20. Solutions: More Open Options • Re-DEFINE types of services provided? • Align more closely to customer needs • Re-LOCATE points of service delivery? • Become closer to customers/users • Re-TIME patterns of service delivery? • Align with customer timing needs • Re-FRESH services? • To improve quality • CO-OPERATE with other agencies? • ‘Joined-up’, seamless service delivery, for better efficiency and effectiveness

  21. Distributional Impacts • For different groups of people • For different residential locations/public transport service patterns • For different sector agencies

  22. Constraints: Older People

  23. Constraints: Young Families

  24. Problems Relating to Location:Public Transport Timings

  25. Distributional Impacts: Agencies • Sectors work to tightly drawn targets, or profit seeking criteria • Efficiency savings are sometimes based on externalising internal costs • So, changes in service delivery patterns in one sector can have (negative) impacts on others

  26. Cross-sector Impacts
