Member of the Sustainable Transport Panel

Mark has over 30 years professional experience of working on sustainable transport and cycling. He has worked for Transport Initiatives on a wide range of projects for local authorities, government and private sector clients.

Mark has wide-ranging experience of planning for cycling. In 2013 he was part of the International Cycling Infrastructure Best Practice Study for TfL. This reviewed cycling in 15 cities across the world and formed the basis for the 2014 London Cycle Design Standards. He has carried out extensive area-wide work on cycle audits, parking and design for many boroughs and cities, including Lambeth, City of London, Guildford, Hackney and Crawley.

 

Mark Strong

Public bike share has become an increasingly important transport option and Mark is one of the UK’s leading experts in this field. He has carried out feasibility studies for many cities to help them decide whether they should develop a scheme, including Guildford, Derby, Greater Manchester and Brighton & Hove (the most successful scheme outside London).

In 2018/19 Mark represented CIHT on the Department for Transport steering group overseeing the development of a new Local Transport Note on the design of cycling infrastructure. When published in 2019 this will set out guidance for the development of high quality cycle provision.
