Community-led decarbonisation research ideas

What innovations could cut carbon through a more activity or community-led approach? Whilst workplace and school travel planning is widespread, this is less true of other activities, yet they comprise around 70% of all transport carbon emissions – is this an opportunity?

Reading the description of this topic, I understood it as being about engaging with the Activity-Based model of transport research, so looking at travel as a derived demand, and the demand being generated by activities that are not Work or Education. However, this would probably require engaging with leisure and holidays! That’s where the carbon is, travel-wise. A political and social hot potato. I am not sure how this fits with our Lancaster case, although travel for sports facilitaties (e.g. at the council’s Salt Ayre Sports Centre, the 2 Universities’ facilities, the city centre gyms and the swimming pool/gyms out near the northern motorway junction might be part of that! However, this seems to be about a new ‘travel planning’ mode which would probably build on work and school travel plans, and Local Authorities' more general Travel Plans, and none of those have historically gone much beyond the behaviourist ‘smarter choices’ discourse with some ‘facilities’ focus (lockers, showers, bike shelters etc.)?
