Giulio Mattioli Thanks Giulio! ☺️ Together with Michał Czepkiewicz and colleagues from University of Iceland we explore how both flying "too little" and excessively are subject to normative pressure, focusing on how people morally justify their flights as a need rather than excess. Feedback very welcome!

This seems like pretty weak pushback from heating manufacturers. Why would the UK worry about investment in a technology (boilers) that’s going to be obsolete in a decade? And why wouldn’t you welcome a policy that supports the future of your industry? on.ft.com/3NciFaP

How can we make car non-ownership not only possible, but normal instead of unusual, especially outside London and in smaller communities? theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2…

Glad to see this. It is worth adding that the individuals and fleet managers who purchase / lease EVs for about 3 years help grow the second hand market, making EVs more affordable for the many who cannot afford a new car, no matter the engine type. theguardian.com/environment/20…

New Findings Press (@[email protected]) paper led by Anna Goodman, with me, Anthony Laverty & @jamiewfurlong on impact of 2020 Low Traffic Neighbourhoods on car/van driving among residents in Lambeth, London, finding 'residents started driving less once their area became an LTN.' findingspress.org/article/75470-…

And car club fleets have a higher proportion of EVs than the national fleet- or in other words % of private cars on UK roads which are electric.

Legislation and enforcement definitely needed so the default is for people on pavements, not cars!

Those do look like fun. Wonder if there is an alternative business model for suburbs and towns, not just dense cities?

Cites some good research too!

In fact, all of the substantive work exploring the effects of LTNs concludes that they do deliver the benefits they’re designed to, and don’t do any of things opponents accuse them of doing. Here is our final briefing summarising the evidence base: wearepossible.org/LTN-briefing2

Autobesity, including in EVs, also uses far more scarce resources, from manufacturing through to energy use and public space. Modifying parking space for them won't help. theguardian.com/business/2023/…

Electric car clubs are being trialled at public charging hubs in towns and villages across Oxfordshire. Hannah Budnitz has won funding from the Public Policy Challenge Fund to see what answers these trials offer. tsu.ox.ac.uk/news/sharing-k…

I will be taking an urban policy perspective on the transition to electric mobility. See you tomorrow!

Thanks to a great partnership with Oxfordshire County Council, EZ-Charge, Oxford City Council, Co-Wheels and more. From TSU Oxford

Career update: I joined TSU Oxford last week as a Senior Researcher in Mobility Governance. I look forward to continuing my research on political geographies of informal transport, digitalisation, and electrification in this role.

Thanks City Transport & Traffic Innovation Magazine! Shout out to Park and Charge Oxfordshire project partners Oxfordshire County Council and EZ-Charge who have also been working hard to dispel myths as well as install infrastructure!

My new paper, The effect of front-end vehicle height on pedestrian death risk, was just published at #Economics of #Transportation. I use vehicle design measurements to test for the effect of taller vehicles on pedestrian outcomes in crashes. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Due to their success, electric car share trials in 9 towns across Oxfordshire have been extended to September 2024. Sign up now to get discounts, some with free membership. Drive from £5-6/hour and 15p/mile. oxfordshire.gov.uk/residents/road…
