About the Studentship

Road transport is an important source of greenhouse gases and air pollutants in Wales. Welsh Government have set ambitious targets in their Transport and Net Zero Wales Strategies that rely heavily on transport demand management to reduce emissions. Additionally, a Clean Air Bill is in development which will establish a framework for more ambitious air quality targets taking account of the latest WHO Air Quality Guidelines.

This research project aims to provide an evidence-based analysis to identify the policy measures that are likely to be most effective in helping Welsh Government to achieve their policy targets. The project will also focus on the suitability of different strategies to demand management in a Welsh context, and approaches to ensure equality, acceptability and public ‘buy in’. The objectives are:

  • Policy review of relevant legislation/strategies to understand the policy/target context and any existing policy measures and monitoring and evaluation frameworks in place
  • Identify and critically evaluate interventions and demand management measures that might be most likely to be successful at a scale needed to meet targets for Wales
  • Application of a Delphi process to engage relevant policymakers and practitioners
  • Take the findings of the stages above to explore with members of the public and assess their feasibility/acceptability
  • Depending on access to data, quantifying potential impact using maximum technical impact of measures against practical policy options.
  • Synthesise and analyse the impacts of the above approaches to quantify the contribution of the considered interventions to meeting the targets
