My new paper, The effect of front-end vehicle height on pedestrian death risk, was just published at #Economics of #Transportation. I use vehicle design measurements to test for the effect of taller vehicles on pedestrian outcomes in crashes. sciencedirect.com/science/ar…
Thanks @CiTTimagazine! Shout out to @parkandchargeox project partners @OxfordshireCC and @EZChargeLtd who have also been working hard to dispel myths as well as install infrastructure!
With less than 2 weeks to go before the winners of #CiTTiAwards 2023 are revealed, one of our star judges, @HBudnitz at @TSUOxford, has contributed a thought leadership article to @CiTTimagazine that debunks some of the myths around #ElectricVehicles. cittimagazine.co.uk/comment/…

Electric car clubs are being trialled at public charging hubs in towns and villages across Oxfordshire. @HBudnitz has won funding from the Public Policy Challenge Fund to see what answers these trials offer.

Autobesity, including in EVs, also uses far more scarce resources, from manufacturing through to energy use and public space. Modifying parking space for them won't help. theguardian.com/business/202…

In fact, all of the substantive work exploring the effects of LTNs concludes that they do deliver the benefits they’re designed to, and don’t do any of things opponents accuse them of doing. Here is our final briefing summarising the evidence base: wearepossible.org/LTN-briefi…
Those do look like fun. Wonder if there is an alternative business model for suburbs and towns, not just dense cities?
Half of car trips in London are under 3km, and nearly two thirds are made with no passengers. Obviously most of these could be walked or cycled with the right changes to our streets. But could hire buggies be a solution for a lot of the rest? A 🧵!

Legislation and enforcement definitely needed so the default is for people on pavements, not cars!
Pavement parking is dangerous and unacceptable.
Some of it can and should be enforced right now using tools already available to local authorities and the Police.
But we also urgently need national legislation to get on top of the problem.

And car club fleets have a higher proportion of EVs than the national fleet- or in other words % of private cars on UK roads which are electric.

New @findingspress paper led by Anna Goodman, with me, @anthonylav & @jamiewfurlong on impact of 2020 Low Traffic Neighbourhoods on car/van driving among residents in Lambeth, London, finding 'residents started driving less once their area became an LTN.' findingspress.org/article/75…
Glad to see this. It is worth adding that the individuals and fleet managers who purchase / lease EVs for about 3 years help grow the second hand market, making EVs more affordable for the many who cannot afford a new car, no matter the engine type. theguardian.com/environment/…
How can we make car non-ownership not only possible, but normal instead of unusual, especially outside London and in smaller communities? theguardian.com/lifeandstyle…

This seems like pretty weak pushback from heating manufacturers.
Why would the UK worry about investment in a technology (boilers) that’s going to be obsolete in a decade? And why wouldn’t you welcome a policy that supports the future of your industry?

Thanks Giulio! ☺️
Together with @mczepkiewicz and colleagues from @uni_iceland we explore how both flying "too little" and excessively are subject to normative pressure, focusing on how people morally justify their flights as a need rather than excess.
Feedback very welcome!
