Hi all,

Please note email below with links to updated data from TfGM and others.

If you'd like to get involved with this weekend's Cycle Hack event then just pop in to RiseMCR on Deansgate if you're passing, or if you'd like to attend for the whole weekend tickets are under a tenner - and there's a further 30% off with the code: cyclehacker

Cheers, Jonathan.

Subject: Cycle Hack - TfGM data

Hi everyone,

The TfGM GIS team has updated and shared their published transport and cycling data on time for the CycleHack weekend which is great.

It is in general a very useful resource to have, so please explore the links and feel free to share it with everyone for your research, projects and campaigns. The cycling team made a few really interesting suggestions how we could use it (see email below).

See you soon!

Gabi

The links to the data are as follows:

Cycle data

a. Cycle routes: https://data.gov.uk/dataset/gm-cycle-routes

b. Cycle hubs: https://data.gov.uk/dataset/gm-cycle-hubs

c. Cycle lockers: https://data.gov.uk/dataset/gm-cycle-lockers

d. Cycle parking: https://data.gov.uk/dataset/gm-cycle-parking

e. Bike shops: https://data.gov.uk/dataset/cycle-shops

Other TfGM data

f. GM Traffic Signal Locations : https://data.gov.uk/dataset/traffic-signal-locations

g. Greater Manchester Road Casualty Statistics: https://data.gov.uk/dataset/greater-manchester-road-casualty-statistics

h. Metrolink Stops and Rail Stations: https://data.gov.uk/dataset/metrolink-and-rail-stations

i. GM Public Transport Schedule – GTFS: https://data.gov.uk/dataset/public-transport-schedules-gtfs

j. Car Parks - http://developer.tfgm.com/ (requires registration) (also, note that this will be replaced by a new live system soon but the concept will be the same so can be used on a Proof of Concept basis)

External data - Air Quality

· Air Quality Management Areas - https://uk-air.defra.gov.uk/aqma/maps

· Great Air Manchester - http://www.greatairmanchester.org.uk/GreatAir/default.aspx

· Air Quality England - http://www.airqualityengland.co.uk/

Some ideas of how the data could be used to tackle cycling barriers is as follows:

1. Promote safe cycle routes using the following data:

· Cycle Routes

· Accidents

· Air quality

2. App

a) To capture recommended/quiet cycle routes

b) Ability for user feedback on TfGM cycle maps, for example error correction
