JANUARY 2005 - FUTURE OF ENGLISH REGIONS CYCLING DEVELOPMENT TEAM

 

PRESS RELEASE

 

Following the Department for Transport announcement in late 2004 that its contract with AEA Technology (AEAT) would not continue beyond the current end date in May 2005, members of the English Regions Cycling Development Team (ERCDT) have formed a new independent consultancy called Transport Initiatives.

Transport Initiatives LLP consists of nine current members of ERCDT and will be offering consultancy services across the broad range of sustainable transport. Initially it will concentrate on delivery of the bulk of the remaining ERCDT work programme, under contract to AEAT.

The core ERCDT activities for the rest of the contract are the Regional Benchmarking project (in partnership with the CTC, the national cyclists association) and the preparation of Cycle Friendly Infrastructure 2, new guidance on designing for cycling.

In addition ERCDT will be offering assistance to English Local Authorities outside London on how best to provide for cyclists in their second Local Transport Plans. This will include advice on the development of appropriate local targets for cycling, one of DfT’s mandatory indicators for LTP2. The team will also be offering some general advice on cycling issues.

AEA Technology retains overall responsibility for management of the ERCDT contract and for the remaining members of the team.
