ABOUT THIS REPORT
The Department for Transport (DfT) commissioned Transport for Quality of Life, Sustrans and Technopolis to evaluate the Cycle City Ambition (CCA) Programme.


This Interim Report is the fifth of seven reports as part of the evaluation. It covers:
 The interim impact (up to the end of 2017) of investment in cycling infrastructure in the eight CCA cities, including the increase in cycling along routes that benefitted from capital investment.
 City-wide and programme-level cycling trends.
 Propensity to cycle by gender, age and ethnicity and corroborating evidence on the demographic profile of new and existing cyclists.
 Cyclists’ and public perceptions about the safety and quality of cycling facilities in their cities.
 Wider impacts on physical activity, carbon emissions and emissions of local pollutants.


Previous reports were:
Sustrans (2016) Cycle City Ambition Stage 1a Report: Outlined the cities’ planned CCA-funded schemes and monitoring plans, and assessed evaluation options.
Taylor I and Hiblin B (2016) Typical Costs of Cycling Interventions: Interim analysis of Cycle City Ambition schemes: Summarised typical costs of cycling interventions and the factors that affected them, during Phase 1 of the CCA programme.

Sloman L, Goodman A, Maia J, Riley R, Dennis S and Farla K (2017) Cycle City Ambition Programme
Evaluation Design: Stage 1b / 1c Report: Recommended suitable infrastructure schemes and comparison sites for evaluation; identified comparison local authority areas for city-wide and
programme-level evaluation; proposed baselines; and included power calculations to show the magnitude of change in cycling participation that would be detectable.
Sloman L, Goodman A, Taylor I, Maia J, Riley R, Dennis S, Farla K, Hopkinson L and Hiblin B (2017)
Cycle City Ambition Programme: Baseline and Interim Report: Reported baseline cycling volumes and initial cycling trends at the infrastructure schemes and comparison sites; reported city-wide trends in cycling volumes, and trends in cycling participation at city and programme level; analysed the propensity of different demographic groups to cycle at baseline; looked at whether increases in cycling led to more physical activity.

The remaining two reports will be:
 An update of the 2016 report on typical costs of cycling interventions: expected to be publishedin 2020.
 A final evaluation, looking at the outcomes and impacts of the CCA programme up to the end of 2019: expected to be published in 2021.
