Transport
Promoting Active Travel
Coventry is a rapidly growing city, with thousands of new homes to be built in the next few years. Planned developments are directly dependent on new transport infrastructure being delivered.
It is essential that this demand is met in a sustainable way, without exacerbating existing problems with congestion, air pollution and the city’s carbon footprint. Funded by Section 106 contributions secured from housing developers, Coventry are delivering a new mobility credits scheme for residents living in specific new build developments in Coventry.
This mobility scheme aims to build on prior learning and recommendations and focus on a shift in transport selection from private car usage to bus, rail, metro, or cycling through these ‘credits’. The Coventry HDRC team are carrying out an evaluation, running from June 2026, to find out whether the mobility credits scheme is successful and understand its implementation in practice.
