Case Study: Bristol City Council boosts citizen participation in transport consultation with Delib's Transport Priorities Simulator

Bristol City Council boosts consultation participation with Delib’s Transport Priorities Simulator and 11,000,000+ citizen responses

Bristol City Council faced significant transport challenges, including congestion, poor air quality, and an unreliable public transport system. They needed to gather public views on these issues and on proposed solutions like new tram or underground systems. To achieve this, they worked with Delib and used a Transport Priorities Simulator.

Delib's simulator provided an engaging way for citizens to participate by making trade-offs between competing priorities and funding options. This approach gave the public real insight into complex policy decisions and encouraged more people to take part than traditional consultation methods. The council was convinced that the Delib tool successfully increased participation in the important consultation.
