Call for examples: transport schemes delivering social value
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
People living in rural areas
NEETs (young people not in education, employment or training)
Care leavers
If you or your authority have been involved in a project that fits this description, whether through improved connectivity, accessibility, affordability, or inclusivity, please share any available information (such as business cases, evaluation reports, or summaries of outcomes).
This is a valuable opportunity to showcase good practice from our region and contribute to national learning on how transport investment can improve social equity.
📅 Deadline: Tuesday 29 October
📩 Please send submissions or queries to: coe@transportforthesoutheast.org.uk
