Pros: • It could be a fast, reliable service that can move large numbers of people. • It could allow large numbers of people to bypass traffic and result in a more reliable, fast and convenient service connecting people from where they live to where they want to go. • New routes could connect areas of new housing growth in the city to employment centres, providing an alternative to the car for daily commuting. Cons: • It will be costly to implement. • It will cause disruption during construction and will take a long time to deliver. • Land could be required, which could be costly, have a significant impact on our environment and could be a lengthy process.

Pros: • It could allow existing road space to be reallocated to public transport and cycling priority. • It could temporarily alleviate congestion on existing roads in the short term. Cons: • Building more roads can encourage more people to use their cars, resulting in the new roads getting congested, leading to increased congestion levels across the city. There will always be a bottle-neck at some point where new roads cannot be built so traffic queues could increase. • It could be costly to implement. • There could be high environmental impacts. • There could be unknown risks with delivery such as land ownership and land conditions. • It could take a long time to complete. • The impacts from traffic such as increased noise, poorer air quality and perceived road safety issues reduce the attractiveness of our public spaces.

Pros: • These measures could reduce congestion. • Reduced congestion will result in improved air quality. • These measures could raises funds for investment for the delivery of other transport measures. Cons: • There is a perceived detrimental effect on local business. • These measures could mean increased costs to individuals.

Pros:
• This will make journeys more reliable as buses are not caught up in general traffic. • Improved bus facilities and information such as passenger real time information will encourage more people to use the bus. • Congestion will be reduced as more people are more people are moved around the city in fewer vehicles.
Cons:
• Road space is limited, therefore in order to create bus lanes, road space will have to be taken from other modes on many of our main routes. • It could result in a loss of on street parking in some instances.

• This could increase the frequency and capacity of trains, making rail a viable and more attractive option to get about. • Rail is a reliable form of transport, as it does not mix with other traffic. • There are a number of stations on the suburban rail network that have been closed for a number of years that could be reopened, along with new stations to provide more options to access the rail network from more places around the city.
• It can take a long time to deliver. • It will require the support of the rail industry. • It is costly to implement.
Pros: • It provides a connection for those who do not live on major routes with frequent bus services or for those travelling from outside the city to leave their cars on the edges of city and travel in to the centre cheaply, quickly and efficiently. • It could improve air quality in the city as many cars could be replaced by fewer and fuller buses. • This measure supports housing growth in the wider region, as it provides an option to connect new housing on the outskirts of the region to the city centre. • It could reduce the number of vehicles contributing to the heavily congested city centre. Cons: • Appropriate sites will need to be established for new park and ride sites and acquiring land for this purpose could be difficult. • It could abstract from other public transport services.

Pros: • It could encourage more people to walk for short journeys as opposed to using their car by creating safe and attractive routes. • It could improve air quality as people switch from driving to walking therefore reducing emissions. • The physical activity of walking improves health and wellbeing. • It could improve accessibility for people who do not have access to a car. • Unlike road building schemes, walking infrastructure schemes are comparatively inexpensive and quick to implement. Cons: • This measure does not cater for all journeys. • Walking is not an option for all our citizens. Press close instead of pressing back on your browser as this will send you back to the start.
Pros: • It could encourage more people to cycle for short and medium length journeys as opposed to using their car by creating safe, well-connected routes. • It could improve air quality as people switch from driving to cycling therefore reducing emissions. • The physical activity of cycling improves health and wellbeing. • It could improve accessibility for people who do not have access to a car. • Unlike road building schemes, cycling infrastructure schemes are comparatively inexpensive and quick to implement. Cons: • Road space may have to be reallocated from vehicles potentially resulting in a loss of on street parking. • Cycling does not cater for all journeys.

Pros: • It could improve air quality by encouraging a switch to cleaner vehicles or for traffic to redirect around areas of poor air quality. • It could create better public places to spend time in due to reduced impact by heavy polluting vehicles. Cons: • It could result in moving traffic elsewhere rather than reducing it. • Encouraging the use of electric cars does not solve the congestion issue. • Encouraging the use of electric cars could drive up the demand for electricity.

Pros: • It could result in reduced noise pollution and air quality by removing freight from unsuitable roads. • It could result in less congestion due to fewer but fuller vehicles entering the city. Cons: • It could result in businesses having to change how their supplies are delivered. • It requires sign up by freight industry.
Pros: • It could make it easier for people to use alternatives to the car. • It could improve health and well being of our citizens by making active travel modes, such as walking and cycling, more feasible. • It is cost effective. Cons: • Suitable infrastructure would need to be in place in order to encourage people to use it. • Measures will need to keep up to date with rapid changes in technology.

Pros: • It could be cost effective to work in partnership with technology providers to provide the services. • It could provide door-to-door services without the use of a car, which could be beneficial to citizens not near public transport services. Cons: • Measures will have to keep up to date with rapid changes in technology. • It is reliant on technology companies to offer the services for which the Council can partnership.

Pros: • High profile campaigns can have a large impact for relatively low cost. • Measures that are implemented could improve safety for all road users. • It could involve local communities in designing measures. Cons: • Road safety education requires large amounts of engagement, for which resources are scarce. Press close instead of pressing back on your browser as this will send you back to the start.
Pros: • It could act as a deterrent for driving in congested areas. • It could generate revenue to contribute towards transport measures. • It does not single out any specific types of journey purposes, as all motorised vehicles could be charged for entering the zone. Cons: • All journeys by motorised vehicles could be charged within the zone, which may penalise those who do not have any realistic alternative. • If realistic alternatives are not in place prior to the charge being introduced, it is unlikely to be publically supported.

Pros: • It could generate revenue to contribute towards transport improvements. • It does not target all road users. Cons: • It could result in businesses relocating to areas outside workplace parking levy zone. • It only targets trips connected to businesses, not all journey types that contribute to congestion Press close instead of pressing back on your browser as this will send you back to the start.
Pros: • It could contribute towards transport improvements without targeting specific road users.
