Do traffic jams disappear during the school holidays in your area?
Possible have teamed up with the campaign group Solve the School Run on a project to work out exactly how much of the congestion on local roads during the morning rush hour is down to school run traffic – and they need your help.
The School Run Cruncher tool is now open for submissions, so you can add locations and the tool uses data from Google Maps to put numbers on exactly how big the difference in local congestion levels is between term times and school holidays.

LCC’s London Loves Cycling wrap up
The London 2024 Mayoral election is over with Sadiq Khan winning a third term as Mayor, and stating his commitment to build “a fairer, safer, greener city”.
Do you own an electric vehicle?
Transport & Environment (T&E) is currently conducting a study on the installation of the private charging points in residential multi-dwelling buildings. The aim of this study is to assess the average time it takes to install a private charging point in existing multi-dwelling buildings in the EU27+UK, and to identify the barriers and enablers to such a procedure. They’re keen to understand experiences so that they can push for better access to EV charge points for people who need access to a car.
The survey will remain open until 15 May.
