Low Traffic Neighbourhoods

What is the project about?

This project is focused on addressing gaps identified in the transport design sector by using collaborative methods to equip professionals with tools for meaningful co-creation.

These co-creation methods would ensure that disabled people will be central in designing street infrastructure, alongside local authorities and developers.

What is the aim of the project?

  • To explore how LTNs affect disabled people—both positively and negatively.
  • To address access barriers, extended journey times, and lack of consultation.
  • To put disabled people’s voices at the centre of research and solutions.
  • To co-design inclusive improvements with local authorities and stakeholders.

How will we carry out this project?

  • Experts by Experience: Establish a group from the CAT panel and run 3 in-depth sessions.
  • Evidence Gathering: Literature review and transport barriers testing at PEARL (using CAT panel members).
  • Industry Insight: Design and conduct interviews with transport professionals.
  • Co-Design Process: Recruit and run two co-design sessions with stakeholders and CAT panel members.

What have we done so far?

The research stages are underway.
