This report summarises the evaluation of the results from the 'Sustainable Travel Towns' - Darlington, Peterborough and Worcester.
These towns implemented packages of 'Smarter Choice' measures, which resulted in increases in cycling, walking and bus use, and decreases in car use and traffic. The evaluation was led by Transport for Quality of Life Ltd, with a team involving TRL, University of Aberdeen, AEA and the University of the West of England. The report was submitted to the UK Department for Transport.
