13 TfL Games Team Travel Demand Management Despite best efforts, unconstrained demand will exceed capacity in some areas 23 million trips on average day during the Games Busiest day (Day Seven): 3.3 million extra trips – concentrated in central and east London TDM vital to ensure Games Family, spectators and workforce arrive at events in good time, and that London/UK continues to function Three areas of focus: – Travel Advice to Business – Traveller information services (including a Games-time Journey Planner) – Marketing and communications programme 12

14 TfL Games Team Working with Business Travel Advice for Business (TAB) will engage with business to ensure you: – Are aware of the increased pressure on London’s transport networks during the Games – Understand the challenges for staff, visitors, suppliers – Are supported and understand the transport alternatives wherever possible to minimise effects on your business – Are able to plan for a change in usual business behaviour – register on the website now! 13

17 TfL Games Team Road Freight Management 16

18 TfL Games Team Freight during the Games Freight makes up 17% of London’s traffic, rising to 25% in Central London Changes needed in 2012 Reduction in deliveries/servicing/freight activity around: – Venues and along ORN – Live sites and Movement Management Areas Reduction in background demand on road network across London Amendments / dispensation to existing control measures, communication of this and local exceptions (Emergency repairs / medical supplies) Summary If no change, impacts and costs to businesses, residents and operators Short term behaviour change is vital during the Games 17

19 TfL Games Team Freight during the Games There will be a ‘Games Effect’ on businesses. The ORN and PRN will cause restrictions on loading and delivery activity. Businesses should: Understand your current delivery, collection and servicing activity Understand what the Games effect is going to be on your business at the place the vehicle stops to make a delivery Talk to your suppliers to ensure they are aware of the changes and are planning how to deliver at Games time Consider what changes you can make to ensure only essential deliveries take place during the Games Start planning based on information available now, bearing in mind their plans will need to be flexible. 18

20 TfL Games Team Road Freight Management Interventions Solutions: Reduce activity: Order early & stockpile goods – Preventative maintenance & servicing of property & equipment – Relocate delivery to non-affected space/road – Delay delivery until after Games? Re-time activity: – Different day or time? – Overnight or out-of-hours deliveries? Re-route delivery: – Reschedule delivery round to avoid Games areas Revise delivery mode: – Goods collected on foot from a nearby location instead of van delivery? 19
