General

AtkinsRéalis has been appointed by the Department for Transport (DfT) to develop a toolkit supporting the Government’s Break Down Barriers to Opportunity mission. The toolkit will provide practical guidance and good practice examples to help local authorities design and deliver transport interventions that improve access to employment, healthcare, and essential services for disadvantaged groups.

They are asking for our help to identify relevant schemes or interventions from across the South East that have delivered clear social value benefits for groups such as:

• People on low incomes

• Disabled people

• Young people

• Elderly people

Integrated National Transport Strategy – a call for ideas

The Department for Transport is developing a strategy which will set the high-level direction for how transport should be designed, built and operated in England over the next 10 years.

It will set out a single national vision which will:

• put people who use transport and their needs at its heart

• empower local leaders to deliver integrated transport solutions that meet the needs of their local communities
  

Questions for organisations  

Hi,

if anyone else is currently using this tool to look at future scenarios then I'd love to hear from you and how are going about it. At the moment we are creating our business-as-usual scenario. The immediate query I have is on intervention BC1 Area-wide travel planning/ mobility management which is defined as 'Long-term management strategy to promote and encourage sustainable travel choice in specific neighbourhoods or localities'. Initially I thought it referred to low traffic neighbourhoods but that is covered in PC5 - LTNs. What does BC1 refer to then?

I'm sure other queries will occur. Be good to know which officers at other local authorities are working on this.

Cheers,

Kieran
