The network cannot accommodate this,
even with improvements, so…
Implications for Oxford’s network
26,000 additional journeys (by all modes)
within the city by 2031 – a 25% increase from
2011.
Without intervention, this could mean 13,000
more commuter car trips each day.
Mode shift is required to avoid major traffic growth and congestion
Central challenge
Improve access
Move more people
Improve place
A better city vs
Traditional solutions have a role, but are
not enough
Do we want over 40% more buses in
the city centre?

City centre More mass transit vehicles + more cyclists + more
pedestrians = need for increased segregation of mass transit
