Abstract

In this paper, the development and implementation of sustainable transport policy in the City of Fremantle is contrasted to the City of Oxford. Oxford's Local Transport Strategy is held up as an exemplar both for its achievements in local transport planning and for significant progress in implementing sustainable transport policies. The barriers Oxford has overcome are mirrored in Fremantle. Learning from this experience and examining the tools and strategies being used is of benefit to planners embarking on the development of local transport plans. This research draws on published strategies and monitoring programs, depth interviews with key players, inspections of implemented initiatives, and our experience as participant observers. The authors conclude that there are still significant barriers to be overcome if sustainable transport policy is ever to be seriously implemented, but this research has identified some factors for success.
