The Bee Initiative, part of Manchester’s 2040 transport strategy aims to achieve a rate of 50% of all journeys being on foot, on cycle or on public transport by 2040. Among a variety of initiatives, TfGM have teamed up with TRL Software to roll out the first of its kind Active Travel component for its UTC (Urban Traffic Control) traffic management software, as part of the DfT signal maintenance and innovation fund. In a joint paper, TfGM and TRL Software share insights on the opportunities this technology will provide to support realising Manchester’s 50% target, and how open data is a critical key to unlocking this door.
