In November this year, Oxfordshire County Council will be bringing in six traffic filters around the city, to speed up buses and improve reliability, increase frequency and introduce new routes.
Whatever your views of the traffic filters, having time to understand how they will work, and being able to absorb information is helpful.
This session includes a presentation, which is clear and jargon free, and will help answer common questions:
- Why are these filters being introduced?
- What do the passes mean in practice and how will I be able to apply?
- Which groups have exemptions?
- and lots more.
The focus will be on practicality, with a big map, and lots of time for questions.
You’ll leave knowing more about how the filters will work, understanding what they might mean for the kinds of journeys you make, and having a sense of some choices you’ll have when they’re in.
This presentation will be given by Zuhura Plummer of Oxfordshire Liveable Streets, who are in favour of the measures, but are primarily concerned with communicating these plans so people understand what is happening and why.
Previous attendees have said: “I’m still very sceptical about whether this will work, but before I was really worried about it, but now I’m less worried” and “I knew something was coming but I didn’t know what, but now I understand, and I feel like I have a few choices”.
The session will last an hour, with some time for Q&A, but Zuhura will be available for up to 30 mins after for people to stay and ask detailed questions. More information is available on the Action Network website.
