Cambridge Science Park Area Travel Plan

Cambridge Science Park is situated in an out-of-town location near the A14 and the M11 motorway. Therefore many people travel by car. Congestion on the roads around the park is a major problem, particularly during peak times. The local authorities recognise that an increase in road capacity will not solve the congestion problem in the long term.

A Steering Group has been set up, with local authorities and businesses working together in partnership to discuss shared transport issues and to identify measures that will encourage and enable people to travel by sustainable modes.

Through partnership working organisations will all benefit from the introduction of the Area Travel Plan and the implementation of tailor-made solutions, while at the same time sharing costs.

JMP Consulting is facilitating the process and the development of the Area Travel Plan.

Specific aims of the Cambridge Science Park Area Travel Plan include:

• Assessing the existing transport conditions;
• Identifying where transport improvements are needed; therefore increasing travel options to the park; and
• Reducing congestion and improving the local environment.
