Inclusive and accessible

Strategic outcomes

Strategic outcomes	Success criteria	Where
The transport network in Lambeth is accessible to all.	Inequalities have been addressed through measures proven to improve physical access for disabled people and people with limited mobility, including step free access to stations parking for disabled people and highway improvements. Participation across transport modes is representative of our diverse community.	Prioritise stations which will have greatest impact on gap between step free/full network travel times and areas of high footfall.
Pedestrians have genuine priority on our streets, with the whole street environment tailored to their needs.	All arms of all junctions have a ‘green man’ phase with crossing times extended and wait times for pedestrians reduced. Crossings are on desire lines. Priority for pedestrians at side roads. Better access around transport hubs. We have delivered the agreed actions from the Equality Streets Commission.	Borough-wide
In Lambeth we have One Public Realm, with seamless access to all our streets and public spaces, regardless of housing tenure or land ownership.	Integration of private roads into the public highway network. People living on housing estates have better access to opportunity and services.	Focus on areas with high deprivation

Priority actions

Priority actions	Success criteria	Where
We will proactively develop designs to deliver step free access at key stations and work with industry stakeholders to promote these.	Work with stakeholders to submit priority schemes to the DfT’s Access for All programme.	Prioritise stations which will have greatest impact on step free/full network gap and where funding is available.
We will create and deliver innovative schemes and training programmes to promote walking and cycling for the whole community and reach out to disabled people and disadvantaged groups.	Training and education programmes to promote behaviour change to the whole community and focus on specific groups, including schools and under-represented groups.	Borough-wide
We will publish streetscape design guidance setting out how we will design our streets and public realm with an emphasis on inclusive access.	Publication of Lambeth Public Realm Design Guidance in 2020. We will review the ‘toolkit’ of options available to deliver better streets and ensure that accessibility is first and foremost in our designs.	Borough-wide
We will co-ordinate highway improvement works, including our maintenance programme, with area enhancement schemes and ensure that all schemes deliver accessibility improvements.	Delivery of small scale accessibility improvements, e.g. dropped kerbs, and de-cluttering as default in all schemes.	Borough-wide
We will review the pedestrian environment adjacent to public transport hubs and deliver improvements.	Improved access and quality of space around stations and stops.	Borough-wide
We will work with TfL to increase priority for pedestrians at signalised crossing and junctions, including reviewing wait times.	Review junctions without a 'green man' phase and cycle times at junctions and implement improvements.	Borough-wide
We will lobby central government to support changes to highway legislation allowing people who rely on mobility scooters to use cycle lanes and tracks.	Trial of ‘mobility lanes’ in Lambeth, subject to DfT approval.	Borough-wide
We will identify and deliver measures to improve access to walking and cycling for our residents on housing estates.	Delivery of bike hangars, training and skills initiatives and improved walking and cycling links to, from and through estates as part of our Healthy Route Network.	Borough-wide
