Select Committees including:
the House of Commons Select Committee on Transport Road Safety Inquiry
the House of Commons Transport Committee, Oral evidence on Active travel, Monday 17 December 2018 (particularly Q16, Q19, Q20)
Rachel’s research has informed the Local taiwan rcs data Implementation Plans for London boroughs as part of their implementation of the Mayor of London’s Transport Strategy.
A report on the research was launched at a stakeholder event. Living Streets and Sustrans contributed to the report foreword and have helped publicise the work.
Living Streets cited analysis from the research in their Response to the call for evidence: Cycling and Walking Investment Strategy Safety Review.
Rachel Aldred said:
“Motor vehicles cause many more injuries than are recorded by police or hospitals. They put vulnerable pedestrians – many with few other options than to walk – at high risk. There is also a very high unreported toll of injuries to cyclists. While the data doesn’t tell us why these inequalities exist, it does suggest transport planning doesn’t do enough to protect the most vulnerable road users.”
